Domaine Pfister is a family winery in Dahlenheim, Alsace, which has been run by Mélanie Pfister since 1780, now in its eighth generation. Some of the vineyards that today belong to the Pfister winery were first mentioned in a document by the Abbey of Saint-Michel de Honau in 884 (!). Around 1000 years later, in 1985, the Scharrachberg was classified as a Grand Cru. Riesling, Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris are cultivated on around 10 hectares of vineyards. The soils are marly and calcareous, stony, shallow, contain sandstone sand and rest on a bedrock of hard, fissured limestone.
“We are the eighth generation of winegrowers. It is important for us to preserve our culture, savoir-faire, nature and our soils. We want to ensure that this continues. Sustainability is a global goal that can be achieved much more intensively and quickly in dialogue with international colleagues than alone – and FAIR’N GREEN is the system for this. This approach is innovative; all pillars of sustainability are taken into account and measured. Every link in the entire value chain is taken into account: the winemaker, the employees, the customer and, above all, nature! Vive FAIR’N GREEN!”
