'The Zusslin wines reflect precision. They are characterized by acidity, energy a savory quality that can only be described as saltiness. '
- The New York Times, Eric Asimov

From the importer Avant Garde Wine & Spirits:
The Zusslin Wine Estate upholds the same winemaking traditions established in 1691. The vineyards are located in the Southern part of Alsace in Orschwir and includes the Pfingstberg Grand Cru hillsides.

Since 1997, the estate is led solely by the principles of biodynamic viticulture in order to re-create a universe suitable for biodiversity. These principles encourage the expression of the soil and environment from Zusslin’s three terroirs. A strict selection of their grapes in the vineyards and at the cellar gives to the wines concentration and elegance.

There is no interference in the natural process of fermentation and aging of the wines. The vitality, substance & moreover the energy given by the biodynamic viticulture make Zusslin’s wines worth enjoying and drinking
