Alsace wine
Alsace wine refers to the wines produced in the Alsace region of northeastern France. This area is known for its unique climate, which combines the influence of the Vosges Mountains and the Rhine River, creating ideal conditions for grape growing. The region primarily produces white wines, with popular varieties including Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot Gris.
The wines of Alsace are typically characterized by their aromatic profiles and crisp acidity. Many Alsace wines are bottled in tall, slender bottles, a style that distinguishes them from other French wines. The region is also known for its commitment to traditional winemaking practices, often emphasizing organic and biodynamic methods.
