/ 5 ( reviews)

Cave de Hunawihr is a renowned cellar rated the best in Alsace and the third finest cooperative in all France. We were delighted when they agreed to make this special selection for Averys. A pure, fresh fruit blend of Pinot Blanc and Sylvaner.

Jancis Robinson MW called Alsace, “One of the great, under appreciated treasures of the wine world.” It lies in the northeast corner of France, on the border of Germany. There are strong Germanic influences in the village names, the architecture, even the food, but the wines are firmly French. Centred around Hunawihr, this renowned cellar was founded in 1954, after WW2, when the area was at its lowest ebb. Today it has over 100 members and makes exemplary, award-winning wines. Most whites in Alsace are single varietal, but this one is a blend of the region's classic grapes: Pinot Blanc and Sylvaner. Thanks to sunshine and cool mountain air in Alsace, the wine's fruit is very pure. A food friendly white – great with chicken or salmon.
