Our family winegrowing cultivates 13 ha of vines on 3 communes (Dambach la Ville, Scherwiller and Châtenois). Our ancestors, coming from Switzerland, settled in Dambach la Ville at the 17th century and practiced the mixed-farming like very many Alsatian families. It is with my grandfather Joseph FREY and my Charles father that the sale out of bottle started. Nathalie and Dominique give a new commercial dash to Winegrowing FREY Charles and Dominique with the first exports in the European countries or to Japan, Canada, the United States. In 1997, we decided to pass the estate in biological culture under Ecocert control. Since 2001, we practice the biodynamy with much happiness. We try to transmit to the wine energy and the life which we give to the grapes so that this one is more digeste and most alive possible. Above all, the culture biodynamics is a work of care of the ground. It is a question of ensuring balance and of creating harmonious living conditions of it between ground, plant and environment. The various treatments of the vine are systematically accompanied by herb teas of plants (nettle, prêle, willow). The compost and the work of the ground are fundamental. The grapes are gathered manually. The grape is versed in entirety on the press without pressing nor picking off in order not to damage it. Pressing is done slowly and carefully. After fermentation, the wines are matured on lees until spring. Excellent Riesling Frankstein Grand cru 2005, of a beautiful yellow color clearly, with the nose prevailed by the white flowers (hawthorn), of very fruity and persistent mouth, quite well-balanced. Tasty Pinot gray fermented of Ours 2006, resulting from old vines from 15 to 35 years, powerful with the nose as in mouth, an elegant wine, very aromatic, all finally like Pinot black Quintessence 2005, of a red robe limpid cherry, have a morello cherry nose with aromas of blackcurrant and peony and a fresh mouth, a wine with quite molten tannins which requires a a little raised kitchen. Excellent Crémant of Alsace brut Plaisir Perlant is of nice golden robe, mixes roundness and nervousness, with these nuances in mouth of fresh fruits and acacia, of persistent foam, to envisage with aperitif as on shells.
