Rolly Gassmann is based in the small village of Rorschwirhr, in the Northernmost part of the Upper Rhine Department in Alsace. The property consists of about 50 hectares of vineyards, divided between the municipalties of Rorschwirhr and Bergheim, allows for a unique variety of soils: clay, sand, limestone and granite alternate in this area, creating wines with a strong and decisive character.
The winery is now run by Marie-Thérèse, Louis and their son Pierre Gassmann. The production is about 300,000 bottles per year, only 20% of which are destined for export outside France. The wines are powerful, precise, played on the difficult ridge of a vibrant acidity and balanced sweetness: Pinot Gris, Riesling and Gewurztraminer by Rolly-Gassmann give pure enjoyment especially to those who have the patience to wait for the legendary ability to evolve in the bottle.
