Riesling
Riesling is the most elegant grape of Alsace. It gives dry,
neat, graceful and well-balanced wine. It is known to be
the finest Alsace wine and deserves it. Riesling is brilliant
with fish, shell-fish, poultry, cold meat and famous Alsatian
dishes such as sauerkraut or smoked ham.
Gewurztraminer
Gewurztraminer is the most typical and independent Alsatian
wine. Gewurz means "spicy" in German. It is the
main characteristic of the Gewurztraminer. It is a delicious
wine, fruity and with strong aromas, a very perfumed and
flowery bouquet. Thick and rich wine, which can age, Gewurztraminer
is better with sauerkraut, sausages and the Alsatian cheese
Munster, curry seasoned dishes, chinese and mexican cooking
and other spiced dishes. A Gewurztraminer can even be served
as a dessert wine.
Sylvaner
Sylvaner gives a pleasant, fresh, fruity and dry wine. It
is better young served as an aperitif or with fish.
