You don’t have to put your ear to the ground to hear what’s happening in Alsace. Here nature sings loud and clear. Alsatian winemakers lead every other region in France in organic and biodynamic agriculture—many are state-certified, while others choose to simply follow organic practices without the paperwork. Respect for the earth, and great wine, often go hand in hand.  Alsace stretches from the northern town of Strasbourg past the picturesque town of Colmar to the south, while the Rhine River mirrors the progression of vineyards as they meander along the foothills of the Vosges Mountains. These lofty peaks protect vineyards from chilly winds from the west; while a smorgasbord of soil types—from limestone to clay to even tufa—give birth to wines with plenty of personality. Riesling as crisp as mountain air, Gewürztraminer and its abundant, honey-sweet kisses, vibrant Pinot Gris that swirls like silver in the glass—Alsatian wines, whether dry or nectar sweet, are unmistakable when in the hands of the region’s finest producers.
