La Cave Grand Cru Château Ollwiller
The 1st World War was hard on the wine Castle of Ollwiller in the southern part of the Alsace, 40 km north-north-west from Basel.
It had been standing since 1230, but when the smoke cleared in 1919, only parts of a few walls were left.
But the bombs could not erase what had been started by Mr. Jacques-Gabriel Gros a hundred years earlier. He laid the foundation for the later so highly praised result of the winemaking in the area.
Today, about a hundred winemakers produce Alsatian wines here. It is a very small cooperative, and the winemakers take aim for quality rather than volume.
Three Grand Crus are made here: Ollwiller, Spiegel and Zinnkoepflé. Only the castle of Ollwiller has the right to use the denomination Château d'Olwiller, making them one of the only two wines in this region with this privilege.
Black Forest is proud to make these outstanding wines available for Thailand's visitors.

François Lurton on Amatara Resort, Phuket
Hardly any wine drinker in the Bordeaux area would not be familiar with the Lurtons wine family.
Among the younger Lurtons the name François is recognized with considerable respect and his wines have made their names known worldwide.
As an example his 'Les Fumées Blanches' is of the most popular wines in Sweden.
Black Forest is proud to have welcomed François Lurton on Amatara, luxury resort on Cape Panwa, Southern Phuket, an outstanding setting provided and food was provided.
