Since the 17th century, the Simonis estate has been passed down from generation to generation. It has been managed for more than 20 years now by Jean-Marc Simonis, assisted by his wife. The estate cultivates the range of 7 Alsatian grape varieties as well as the Grand Cru Kaefferkopf, a jewel of the Ammerschwihr vineyard. It is a small farm of 5 ha which wisely produces fine and balanced wines by practicing sustainable viticulture. Crémants d'Alsace are produced in white from Auxerrois as well as in rosé from pinot noir. Wines from the terroir of the Grand Cru Kaefferkopf are made in Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and even in a blend of both in order to combine the freshness and balance of Riesling with the aromatic palette of Gewurztraminer. The estate participates in the "Picnic at the Winegrower's" operation, which takes place every Whit Monday. The opportunity to taste its pinot noir, its Grands Crus Kaefferkopf, and, why not, the grape juice produced by the house based on white pinot and muscat !
