WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Domaine Saint-Remy Eclipse is produced using 100% Gewürztraminer grapes from Wettolsheim, Alsace. The key winemaking technique is skin maceration, where grape skins remain in contact with the must for 18 days during fermentation, which is carried out using indigenous yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks. The estate practices organic and biodynamic farming, holding Demeter certification, and the grapes are hand-harvested. This approach emphasizes natural processes and the expression of terroir.
