Seen as the cultural crossover point between France and Germany, the wines of Alsace are a unique expression of this cultural mix.  The main varieties - Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Tokay Pinot Gris - create distinctive individual full flavoured styles. The late harvest and botrytis affected wines (Vendange Tardive and Selection des Grains Nobles) are some of the world's greatest sweet whites.
