Vintage Report

The 2021 vintage in Alsace is rated with a score of 89-92, indicating excellent quality. The wines show a classic profile with striking freshness and an elegant structure.

Alsace, a land of contrasts, boasts a wide variety of terroirs and landscapes. It enjoys a dry and temperate climate, boasts exceptionally favorable soils, and is ideally situated for its vineyards. Balthazar Fry produces exceptional wines here under the watchful eye of experienced winemakers. Each of these French wines reflects its unique terroir.

The elegance of Balthazar Fry wines

Dozens of villages lie along the eastern foothills of the Vosges Mountains, including the fairytale village of Bergheim in the heart of Alsace. This region boasts a wide variety of soil types, each changing every few kilometers. You'll encounter limestone, slate, marl, granite, and volcanic soils. The climate is variable and, thanks to the Vosges Mountains, sheltered from precipitation. Plenty of cool air flows from the north and west, providing a welcome respite from the warm days. The Balthazar Fry family, the first winegrowing family to settle in Bergheim in 1748, is now the seventh generation, keeping the traditions alive, combined with a contemporary philosophy and approach. The striving is always for a balance between acidity, sweetness, and alcohol, with an emphasis on elegance. Quality is paramount and is therefore the goal. Environmental protection also plays a major role in winemaking, as only a living soil can convey the character of the terroir to a vine, so the thinking goes. The winery owns a total of 33 hectares of vineyards, which have been organically certified since 2012.

A fruity wine from Balthazar Fry

The grapes are harvested with great care and then transported in crates to the winery. Here, they are rigorously inspected on the sorting table, berry by berry. While traditional winemaking methods, such as the use of oak barrels for part of the aging process, are maintained, Balthazar Fry has invested in modern technology. This embrace of modern elements ensures that this wine ages gracefully. The result is a dry, elegant white wine with a fresh and lively bouquet, abundant in fruit and floral notes.
