Averys Fine Alsace 2018

Alsace AOC

/ 5 ( reviews)

The Gisselbrecht family has grown grapes in Alsace's beautiful Dambach La Ville for centuries. They specialise in small lots of exceptional Grand Cru wines, so we were delighted when they agreed to make this special selection exclusively for Averys.

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. The Gisselbrecht family has been making wine in Dambach La Ville for centuries. Their wines span the whole range – from village to Grand Cru. Most whites in Alsace are single varietal, but this one is a blend of the region's classic grapes – Sylvaner, Pinot Blanc and Muscat. Thanks to all the sunshine and cool mountain air in Alsace, the wine's fruit is very pure. A food friendly white that's delicious with roast chicken or grilled salmon with salsa.

"Bright, aromatic fruit, very pure – Alsace wines offer so much and this is a lovely example" Jehan Sacaze
