{"title":"Jean-François Ginglinger","description":"\u003cp\u003eJean-François Ginglinger lives and works in Pfaffenheim, in the heart of Alsace, continuing a family winemaking tradition that dates back to 1610. For generations, the Ginglingers have cultivated vines, crafted wines, and cared for their estate with deep respect for the land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"278\" data-end=\"767\"\u003eIn the 1990s, his father, Jean-Louis Ginglinger, began transitioning the domaine to organic and biodynamic farming, while also experimenting with natural winemaking methods. When Jean-François took over the estate, he embraced these principles fully and pushed them even further. Today, he works the vineyards exclusively with horses, and after bottling his Pinot Noir “Steiner” without sulfur as an experiment in 2003, he ultimately eliminated sulfur entirely from his cellar practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"769\" data-end=\"1089\"\u003eThe estate now spans around six hectares, with roughly one third of the vines located in the Grand Cru vineyards of Steinert and Zinnkoepfle. The soils are geologically complex, composed of various types of limestone, including calcareous sandstone, which contributes remarkable tension and vibrant acidity to the wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1091\" data-end=\"1467\"\u003eHarvesting is done entirely by hand, followed by spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The grapes are often pressed as whole clusters. Jean-François works with all the emblematic Alsatian varieties: \u0026nbsp;Sylvaner, Riesling, Muscat d’Alsace, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Noir, crafting wines that are mineral, lively, and driven by bright acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1469\" data-end=\"1633\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eHis wines beautifully balance elegance and the vivid energy of their terroir, while also reflecting the playfulness and independent spirit of the winemaker himself.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"jean-fran-ois-ginglinger-ruest-2022","title":"Jean-François Ginglinger Ruest 2022","description":"\u003cbr\u003e 50% Pinot Blanc and 50% Sylvaner, directly pressed and aged in steel tanks.\u003cbr\u003e Bottled without filtration, clarification or addition of sulfur.\u003cbr\u003e Citrusy, mineral and salty, all perfectly balanced in the refreshing sip.","brand":"Jean-François Ginglinger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55037766173058,"sku":null,"price":8800.0,"currency_code":"HUF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/4543\/9618\/files\/Ginglinger_Ruest.jpg?v=1758101995"},{"product_id":"jean-fran-ois-ginglinger-pinot-gris-2022","title":"Jean-François Ginglinger Pinot Gris 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e100% Pinot Gris, harvested at perfect ripeness and then pressed directly.\u003cbr\u003eBottled without filtration, fining or addition of sulfur.\u003cbr\u003eExcitingly mineral and citrusy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jean-François Ginglinger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55037766205826,"sku":null,"price":9800.0,"currency_code":"HUF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/4543\/9618\/files\/Ginglinger_Pinot_Gris.jpg?v=1758102308"},{"product_id":"jean-fran-ois-ginglinger-le-geai-2022","title":"Jean-François Ginglinger Le Geai 2022","description":"\u003cbr\u003e 100% Gewürtztraminer.
