Klevener de Heiligenstein can only be grown in Heiligenstein\nand is a varietal that owes its origins to the Traminer or Pink\nSavagnin grape.
\nIt grows in a pebbly sand and clay soil, which allows it to\ndevelop its exceptional aromatic potential. The dry poor soil\nencourages the roots to dig down deep.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nos vignobles \u00e0 Itterswiller \u00c0 dominante de gr\u00e9s lessiv\u00e9s et de s\u00e9diments marno\u00adcalcaires, les c\u00f4teaux d\u2019Itterswiller pr\u00e9sentent des pentes moyennes souvent orient\u00e9s sud-sud-ouest.
