WINEMAKER

Jean & Pierre Dietrich

FARMNG STYLE

Biodynamic

The Dietrich family has farmed land in Alsace since 1600. In the past the family farm used to be run on the basis of polyculture however the family now concentrate on growing grape vines and other fruit. In 1999 Yves converted the estate to organic farming (at the time he would sell his grapes to the local cave-cooperative). Pierre and Jean took over the responsibility of the winery in 2016, and were the first members of the family to bottle the estate’s wines. The estate has been farmed with biodynamics ever since 2003. The domaine contains 18.5 hectares of vines and also 6 hectares of fruit trees from which the family also produces Pet-Nats from black and red cherries, damson and victoria plums.
