“‘Its Gewürztraminer is very impressive, with its finely crafted structure and easily digestible sweetness.’ (RVF)”

“The ‘Head in the Sun’ (Zinnkoepflé)—these 50 ares of old Gewürztraminer vines—earned the Moltès brothers the title of ‘Winemakers of the Year’ (2020 edition). The grape variety, which thrives on this limestone and sandstone hillside—sheltered from rain and exposed to the wind—is planted high up here at 380 m, near the summit, which is crowned by dry heathland. Wines from Zinnkoepflé often exhibit characteristics of overripeness, as sweet as they are powerful. This is the case with this golden-yellow 2023, whose intense and complex nose reveals fruitiness tinged with candied and roasted notes. Its suppleness and fullness are balanced by a pleasant acidity that lends length and depth.” (Le Guide Hachette 2026)

Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

The new generation of Moltès—Stéphane and Mickaël, who have been at the helm of the estate since 1995—has since converted the vineyard to organic farming. Unsurprisingly, this has given the wines more verticality and tension, and they now stand out at our annual tastings. This is just the beginning of a new adventure for this estate, founded in 1930 by Antoine Moltès.

About the wine:

The “Tête au Soleil” (Zinnkoepflé)—these 50 ares of old Gewürztraminer vines—earned the Moltès brothers the title of “Winemakers of the Year” (2020 edition). The grape variety, which thrives on this limestone and sandstone hillside—sheltered from rain and exposed to the wind—is planted high up here at 380 m, near the summit, which is topped by dry heathland. Wines from Zinnkoepflé often exhibit characteristics of overripeness, as sweet as they are powerful. This is true of this golden-yellow 2023 vintage, whose intense and complex nose reveals fruitiness tinged with candied and roasted notes. Its suppleness and fullness are balanced by a pleasant acidity that lends length and depth. (Residual sugar: 42 g/l.)

About the estate:

A vineyard located about ten kilometers south of Colmar. Antoine Moltès began selling his first wines in 1925, and his son Roland explored the terroirs. Mickaël and Stéphane, who took over at the turn of the century, built a new winery and gradually shifted toward organic farming, beginning the vineyard’s conversion in 2012; they also expanded the property from 17 to 27 hectares in 2019 and established a wine trading company to broaden their product line.
