Aromatic Masterpieces from the Rhine

Alsace

Nestled between the Vosges mountains and the Rhine river, Alsace is France's most distinctive white wine region. Its unique microclimate — sheltered from Atlantic rain by the Vosges — allows grapes to ripen slowly, developing extraordinary aromatic intensity. Alsace is the only French region to label wines by grape variety, and its Rieslings, Gewürztraminers, and Pinot Gris rank among the world's finest aromatic whites.
