Alsace
Alsace, France, is celebrated for its aromatic white wines, particularly Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot Gris, which thrive in its cool, continental climate. Nestled between the Vosges Mountains to the west and the Rhine River to the east, the region benefits from a rain shadow effect, creating dry, sunny conditions ideal for slow ripening and intense flavor development. Alsace’s diverse terroir includes granite, limestone, clay, and volcanic soils. The finished wines are flavorful, complex, and age-worthy, exemplifying the best of their varietal expression.
