A Closer Look at Our Alsace Wine Selection
Our Alsace collection is built around producers who exemplify the region's commitment to organic farming and terroir expression. We work directly with estates like Domaine de l'Envol and Domaine Thomas, passionate families crafting wines with incredible character. Here’s what makes their wines, and the grapes they champion, so special.
Riesling: The Classic Dry Style The Rieslings in our selection, such as the Domaine de l'Envol AOC Alsace Riesling 2020, offer a perfect introduction to the classic style. They showcase the piercing acidity and notes of citrus and wet stone that make this grape so revered, offering incredible energy and aging potential.
Gewürztraminer: An Aromatic Journey For a truly aromatic experience, explore the Domaine Thomas Grand Cru Mambourg Gewurztraminer. It's a powerful example of the grape's signature lychee and rose petal notes, balanced by the complexity that comes from a celebrated Grand Cru vineyard. It’s a wine that is both unmistakable and unforgettable.
Pinot Gris: From Everyday Treat to Grand Cru You can experience the full spectrum of Pinot Gris in our collection. From the approachable Domaine de l'Envol Pinot Gris 2021 to the powerful, layered Grand Cru Florimont, you'll discover the rich, textured, and subtly smoky character that defines Alsatian Pinot Gris. These wines show the remarkable depth the grape can achieve.
Common Questions
Are Alsace wines sweet or dry? While some grapes like Gewürztraminer can have a hint of sweetness, the classic style for Alsace Riesling and Pinot Gris is dry. For dessert-style sweet wines, look for the terms "Vendanges Tardives" (Late Harvest), which are rich and honeyed, or "Sélection de Grains Nobles" (Selection of Noble Berries), which are rare, complex wines made from grapes affected by noble rot, similar to Sauternes.
What Food Should I Pair With Alsace Wine? Food pairing is a big topic. Alsace Riesling is a classic match with seafood, shellfish, and even sauerkraut for a true regional experience. Gewurztraminer is famously paired with spicy food, strong cheeses (like Munster), or even Asian cuisine. Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir are praised for their versatility—think pork, poultry, or even lighter red meat dishes.
Does Alsace make red wine? Yes! While famous for its whites, Alsace also produces excellent red wine from the Pinot Noir grape. It's typically lighter in body than other French Pinot Noirs, with bright red fruit flavours and a silky texture, making it incredibly versatile with food.
