Let's meet along the Rhine, where the Alsace region's winemakers treat us to their finest wines.In this area, we can find, among others, the AOC Alsace (Controlled designation of origin).
The Alsace region is well-known for its particularity to put forward a unique variety. That's the reason why its bottles give pride of place to the famous Gewurztraminer (especially known for its late harvests), Pinot gris, Pinot blanc, Pinot noir, Riesling, Sylvaner and Muscat as well as the less known Chasselas, Auxerrois and Savagnin Rose.
The fruity flavours of these noble varieties, combined with a mineral terroir, offer wines that are renowned for their finesse, their lightness and their fruit. The AOC Alsace wines stand for 70% of the area's production and are 90% white wines.
