Domaine Mader
Jean-Luc and Anne Mader established their winery in 1981, and their son Jérôme joined them in 2005 after gaining international experience and an oenological diploma. By 2023, the Domaine had expanded to 11 hectares across 38 blocks in Hunawihr, Ribeauvillé, Riquewihr, and Kientzheim, including 2 hectares in Grand Cru sites Rosacker and Schlossberg, and another 2 hectares in Lieu-dit sites.
Today, the winery produces 55,000 bottles annually, focusing on Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Noir, with additional offerings of Muscat, Gewurztraminer, and Crémant d’Alsace. Committed to organic farming since 2007, they prioritize low yields and healthy soils to produce well-balanced, long-lasting wines that reflect Alsace’s geological diversity. All harvesting is done by hand, with whole bunch pressing and natural fermentation.
Their ecological approach includes using solar energy, wood heating, and light bottles, which have significantly reduced their environmental impact.
