Alsace's wines are unique, with grape varieties that are not commonly found elsewhere in France. Over 90% of Alsace wines are made from white grape varieties, making the region distinct for its aromatic and expressive wines, which are known for their freshness, structure, and food-friendly qualities.

Among Alsace’s noble varieties, Riesling stands as the indisputable king. Elegant and dry, it showcases a wide range of aromas, from delicate fruits like lemon, grapefruit, peach, and pear, to richer expressions of stewed fruits, flowers, and spices. Rieslings from Alsace are marked by their abundant freshness, opulence, and a rich mid-palate, all balanced by a racy acidity that gives them exceptional aging potential.

Other prominent varieties include Gewurztraminer, which offers bold, expressive wines with complex notes of rose and spice; Pinot Gris, which produces round, full-bodied wines; and Sylvaner, known for its fresh, light, and slightly floral wines with a mineral edge.

Alsace is also renowned for its exceptional liquorous wines, such as Vendanges Tardives (VT) and Sélections de Grains Nobles (SGN), which are among the finest dessert wines in the world. These wines are concentrated and have extraordinary aging potential, sometimes lasting more than 50 years.

In summary, Alsace wines are aromatic, balanced, and incredibly versatile, with each variety offering something unique, making them ideal companions for a wide range of cuisines.
