Kreydenweiss Estate – The Purest Expression of Alsace Terroirs

A Family Estate Committed for Generations

Located in Andlau, at the heart of Alsace’s wine country, the Kreydenweiss estate is a cornerstone of the region’s winemaking tradition. Founded in 1650, it took a transformative turn in 1984 when Marc Kreydenweiss became one of Alsace’s pioneers in biodynamic viticulture. Today, his son Antoine carries forward this legacy with the same passion and precision, crafting wines that are deeply connected to their terroir. Every cuvée tells a unique story, reflecting the richness of the land and the expertise of generations.

Prestigious Terroirs Shaping Great Wines

The Kreydenweiss estate boasts remarkable vineyard sites, including three Grand Cru terroirs: Kastelberg, Moenchberg, and Wiebelsberg. These vineyards, defined by schist, sandstone, and limestone soils, create wines of striking depth and complexity. By maintaining biodynamic farming practices and avoiding chemical treatments, the estate allows these living soils to impart a distinct personality to the wines, characterized by elegance, minerality, and tension.

A Biodynamic Approach to Elevate the Terroir

Kreydenweiss has been practicing biodynamic viticulture for over 30 years, long before it became a global movement. More than just a certification, it represents a holistic philosophy centered on the vine’s harmony with its environment. Herbal preparations and lunar cycles guide vineyard work, allowing the vines to flourish naturally. In the cellar, minimal intervention is the rule: indigenous yeast fermentations, long aging on lees, and limited sulfur use ensure wines that are pure, vibrant, and full of life.

A Range of Elegant and Expressive Wines

The estate produces an impressive collection of wines that highlight the diversity of Alsace’s terroirs. The Riesling Kastelberg Grand Cru captivates with its sharp minerality and crystalline finesse, while the Pinot Gris Moenchberg offers richness and a silky texture. The estate’s Gewurztraminer, a quintessential Alsace grape, is refined and elegant, with delicate floral and spice notes. Beyond whites, Kreydenweiss is also known for its exceptional Pinot Noir, crafted with remarkable precision to deliver fine, structured, and deeply expressive wines.
