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
Bright, gold-tinged yellow. Perfumed aromas of superripe apricot, baked apple, mirabelle and white flowers. Bright, dense and juicy, with outstanding purity to the white stone fruit and ripe tropical fruit flavors. The finish is long, breezy and mineral. The Sylvaner grapes used to make this wine come from vines grown on the Zinnkoepflé grand cru (one of the two or...

TASTING NOTES
A fresh nose of light cherry blossom and a touch of orange peel giving it a real zingy vibrance. The floral and citrus notes carry through on the palate and lead on to an incredibly crisp, slate minerality which lingers on a lengthy finish. This combined with well balanced acidity holds the wine together making it easy to drink and...

TASTING NOTES
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...
