Lovely, pure yet under-rated wines from the Alsace region of France made from the classic Alsace varieties of Riesling, Gewurtztraminer and Pinot Blanc. The winery has a fermentation cellar that is built below the presses, allowing juice to flow by gravity, helping preventing the oxidation of must and protecting the aromas. Temperature controlled fermentation tanks help maintain freshness and the wine is aged in traditional wooden barrels, some of which are over a hundred years old.

Alsace
The pretty chocolate-box villages of Alsace, tucked away in the north-east corner of France, are home to some of the world's great white wines. Close to the German border south-west of the city of Strasbourg, the Franco-Germanic heritage of Alsace is evident in its wines, food and people. Alsace is one of the driest wine regions in France thanks to its position in the rain shadow of the Vosges Mountains to the west, which protect the vineyards and provide excellent conditions for ripening grapes. With a hat-tip to its history, Alsace specialises in the traditional German varieties Riesling and Gewurztraminer and is also known for Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Muscat. Unlike other French regions, the label states the wine variety, which helps consumers know what they are getting. Alsace wines are typically aromatic with a clean, pure, fruit character and steely citrus and floral flavours.

Grape Variety
Gewurztraminer
Gewurztraminer
Gewurztraminer
Gewurztraminer is a white grape variety with a high natural sugar content used to make wine with floral, orange citrus and tropical flavours - typically lychees, rose petals and passionfruit. The grape performs best in cooler climates thanks to its low acidity not coping with the extra sugar produced in warmer climates and becoming flat and drab. The best examples are from the Alsace in North Eastern France, Germany, but good examples can also be found in the New World, notably New Zealand and Argentina.
