Cave Vinicole De Hunawihr ′Calixte 5′ Crémant D′Alsace Brut

After the Second World War, Alsace was still recovering from German occupation. A group of Alsatian winemakers banded together to reignite their local wine industry. This was when Cave Vinicole de Hunawihr, the first wine cooperative in Alsace, began. They would spend their days tending vines together and their nights reconstructing the winery buildings, which still stand today. This is their classic Crémant d’Alsace – the signature sparkling wine from the region. The base wine is aged for several months in oak. This gives it a subtle spicy character alongside notes of flowers and plums. Drink now with light fish dishes.
