The Estate

The LOBERGER estate is located 20 km south of Colmar, in the small village of Bergholtz, nestled in the Vosges foothills – an ideal geological cradle for great wines, as only Alsace knows how to produce. It is here that the LOBERGER family, winegrowers from generations, tend their vines and craft their wines with the utmost care.

Organic farming, strict adherence to biodynamic principles, careful soil work, meticulous hand-harvesting and low yields all help give our wines perfect balance and a unique personality.

The estate covers 8 hectares spread over many plots, which enjoy excellent sunshine thanks to their south-east, south and south-west exposure. Most of our vineyards lie on the hillsides of Guebwiller, Bergholtz and Bergholtz-Zell, at altitudes of 250 to 480 metres. Some plots have gradients of up to 60%. Across these geologically diverse terroirs, spread over 5 km, we farm three Grands Crus (KITTERLÉ, SAERING and SPIEGEL) along with named sites (lieux-dits) such as Weingarten, Meissenberg, Schwarzberg, Schlossberg and Trottberg.

We are independent grower-producers: we only make and sell wine from our own grapes.

All our vineyards are tended with the utmost care and full respect for the environment, following the core principles of organic and biodynamic farming. We use no chemical or synthetic products. Instead, we use herbal infusions (horsetail, willow and nettle, among others) and homeopathic preparations to strengthen the soil and the vine. The results speak for themselves: rich flora and fauna, disease-resistant vines and lively wines.

Yields are deliberately kept below average, which allows us to make great wines. Regular, careful tilling, hoeing, brush-cutters and backpack sprayers for some biodynamic treatments: wherever possible, human hands replace machines, attending to the vine's needs day by day. Aged in the cellar with minimal intervention, the wines gain in authenticity and faithfully express their terroir.

Yields are low, less than average, which enables us to make great wine.

Regular and thorough soil tilling, spades, brush-cutter, and back-sprayer for some biodynamic treatments: human hands replace mechanization as much as possible and enable the vine to feel alive by meeting its daily requirements.

While ageing in the cellar with least interferences the wines acquire an authenticity and gain in respect typical of their terroir.
