The Wines of Alsace: A Primer

Posted on Feb 15, 2023

The Autumn beauty of Alsace.

Alsace is a gem of a wine region, well-known to sommeliers and the wine cognoscenti, but not yet well appreciated by the general public. The region makes some terrific wine, has a delicious gastronomy and is a stunning region visually. Alsace resides in north-eastern France sharing a border with both Germany and Switzerland. The key geographic features of this small, 15,000 hectare region are the Rhine River and the Vosges Mountains.

2012 Audrey et Christian Binner Riesling Vignoble D’Ammerschwihr

Deep gold in colour, the nose immediately reveals notes of apple and petrol with a hint of lime and honey. Full bodied for a Riesling, it has a nice round mouth feel balanced with enough acidity so as not to taste flabby.  Not a particularly long finish but a very enjoyable wine.

Very Good +
