Moritz-Prado
Moritz-Prado is one of the most exciting newcomers to the Alsace wine scene. Founded by Ghislain Moritz and Angela Prado, their story is one of passion, experience, and a relentless pursuit of quality.
Ghislain honed his craft in Mercurey before expanding his expertise in Portugal and Romania, where he played a key role in shaping the now-renowned Avincis winery. In 2009, he met Angela, a Colombian studying in Paris, and together they returned to Romania to help Avincis flourish. With years of experience and a shared dream of creating their own wines, the couple set their sights on Alsace.
In 2018, they returned to France with their young family and acquired 5 hectares of vines in Albé—the region’s only mountain vineyard. At 450m altitude, the vines thrive on schist soils, producing Silvaner, Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Noir, all of which became certified organic in 2022.
Their winemaking philosophy is rooted in minimal intervention, with an increasing number of cuvées crafted without added sulphur. Thoughtful use of French oak and skin contact results in expressive, terroir-driven wines that capture the distinct character of Alsace.
Maison Moritz-Prado is redefining what Alsace wines can be—authentic, innovative, and deeply connected to the land.
