Schoenenbourg (literally: the beautiful hill) is one of the most prestigious Grand Cru vineyards in Alsace. Located immediately north of Riquewihr, the vineyard is situated on a steep south and southwest slope at an altitude of 265-380 m above sea level. The Grand Cru measures 53.4 ha in total. The subsoil consists of keuper rocks, marl and limestone layers, covered with a layer of gravel, variegated sandstone and muschelkalk. Riesling is by far the most planted grape variety on the Schoenenbourg.

The grapes are harvested by hand. The entire bunches undergo a light pressing, without prior crushing. After static clarification, the must is transferred to a clean cuvée and fermented under temperature-controlled conditions. After fermentation, the young wine matures in old oak casks, on the fine 'lie'. Finally, the wine is bottled after 16-17 after the harvest. This Riesling can continue to mature in the bottle for 10 years or more after harvest and then develops a remarkable aromatic complexity.
