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.

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.

Bottle 75cl £13.85
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...

Orange zest and rose petals with a touch of spice. Ripe, complex fruit characteristics: Lychee, peach and pink grapefruit. This is astonishingly long with tremendous complexity. Utterly beguiling today with juicy fruit and beautiful perfume but the best is yet to come. The underlying savoury character and earthy minerality of Zotzenberg will be revealed with time and provide a wonderful...

TASTING NOTES
Bright yellow. Ripe yellow apple, strawberry and hints of truffle and iodine on the enticing, complex nose. Then rich and dense in the mouth, with lovely acidity and pure floral flavors of orchard fruits and caramel. The very long finish is multilayered and suave. Much deeper, richer and more complex than the 2013 Pinot Gris Dirstelberg; the depth and power...

TASTING NOTES
Rich and powerful with lovely weight of elegant fruit, this is magnificently complex and satisfying wine. A bouquet of tropical honeyed fruits with hints of wild flowers and truffles is followed by a rich palate balanced by an energetic acidity which leads to a long and mineral finish.
