ALSACE
Of all the wine growing regions of the world, Alsace is unique for the extra-ordinary diversity of its "terroir". From Strasbourg in the North, to Mulhouse in the South, the eclectic mix of soils (limestone, sandstone, schist, slate and granite) allows this sun trap between the Vosges mountains and the Black Forest to produce more different styles of wine than any other area. They marry extremely well with the robust fusion of Germanic and French cuisines found in the restaurants and "winstub" of the region's picturesque villages.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YOU
2016 Pinot Blanc Reserve, Domaine Boeckel
Bottle 75cl £12.70
2015 Riesling, Domaine Boeckel
Bottle 75cl £12.70
TASTING NOTES
Produced from organic grapes, this is bright, crisp and wonderfully floral. The enticing perfume is dominated by apricot and baked apple notes, but a lovely floral aromatic is certainly present. Bright, dense and juicy on the palate, there is a wonderful purity to the white stone fruit and ripe tropical flavours. Lutzeltal is a very gravelly site, with vines around...

Bottle 75cl £15.60
TASTING NOTES
Lemon, apricot and pear are all enlivened by white flowers and a touch of spice on the refined nose of this excellent Pinot Gris. The vines at Dirstelberg are 42 years old and the site is characterised by pink sandstone that delivers an ample character to the wines . Bright and rich in the mouth, with suave flavours of ripe...

2013 Sylvaner Grand Cru Zotzenberg, Domaine Boeckel
Bottle 75cl £20.15
TASTING NOTES
Rich and exuberant with tropical hints and spice. Fresh acidity and earthy minerality provide backbone and this has good length. A wonderfully composed Pinot Gris with everything in exactly the right place. Succulent and charming, this will drink really well as soon as it lands.

2012 Riesling Grand Cru Wiebelsberg, Domaine Boeckel
Bottle 75cl £20.15
TASTING NOTES
Bright red. Elements of torrefaction camouflage the bright red berry and flint aromas. Then much brighter and fruitier in the mouth; delicious red berry and cherry flavors are rich and ripe but lifted by vibrant acidity. The finish is long and savory. This wine has sneaky concentration and complexity, and the oak is much less evident in the mouth than...
