What makes Alsace a special wine?
The singular charm of Alsace wines stems from a harmonious blend of its unique geography, diverse soils, and a fascinating interplay of German and French winemaking traditions. The region's location, protected by the Vosges Mountains, creates a microclimate that is among the driest in France, ideal for grape ripening. The mosaic of soils, ranging from granite and limestone to clay and schist, adds multifaceted character to its wines.

Wines that are aromatic, textured, and imbued with a sense of place.

What type of wine is Alsace most known for?
While Alsace produces an array of wines, it is most celebrated for its white wines, particularly those made from Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Muscat. Riesling from Alsace is particularly esteemed, often characterized by its racy acidity, aromatic depth, and mineral undertones. Gewurztraminer, on the other hand, is known for its lush aromatics, often hinting at lychee, rose, and exotic spices. Pinot Gris offers richness and opulence, whereas Muscat is all about grapey freshness. In addition to these, Alsace also produces Crémant d'Alsace, a sparkling wine that's gaining popularity for its quality and value.
