Château de Riquewihr

Château de Riquewihr is not actually a wine subregion but rather a historic castle and winery located in the village of Riquewihr within Alsace, France. Riquewihr itself is a renowned wine-producing village in the Haut-Rhin department, known for its exceptional terroir combining sheltered slopes, varied soils, and a relatively dry microclimate due to the Vosges Mountains' rain shadow effect. The area is particularly celebrated for its aromatic white wines, especially Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot Gris, with some vineyards holding Grand Cru status.
