Maison Moritz Prado Riesling & Sylvaner Amphora 2018

Maison Moritz Prado

Ghislain and Angela decide to go to France and back to Alsace to create their own winery, Maison Moritz Prado in Albé in the Val de Villé. Their 100% establishment outside the family circle was the real creation of a new winery, which is rare in Alsace. This allowed them to bring their know-how and experience gained elsewhere. The vineyards are located at the foot of the Vosges, in the Vallée de Villé, where we benefit from the protection of the Vosges massif. These mountains act as a bulwark, blocking the rain from the Atlantic and the west. Thanks to the 400 - 500 meters of altitude, the vineyards benefit from the natural and beneficial regulation of excessive heat. In a vineyard in the mountains, artisanal work is preferred. Everything is done by hand. Since they have been converting to organic farming (AB) since 2019, they apply herbal teas or plant manures (biodynamic preparations). They are an essential point for the balance of the crops. These nourish the soil, strengthen its vitality and ensure healthier crops. The soil is nourished and in turn nourishes the vines naturally.
