Wines of Alsace and Tokay Pinot Gris of Alsace
March 8, 2011
Situated on France’s most easterly border gazing towards Germany. Alsace only became part of France in 1648 at the end of the 30 years war, before that it was part of the germanic Holy Roman Empire. The wines of the region owe much to the Rhine Valley as this was the traditional route along which they were traded. The famous ‘Rhenish’ wines of the middle ages were probably Alsacian wines and the imposing building and beautiful towns built in this period are testament to the wealth of the region at that time. That the buildings are still there is testament to how poor and disturbed it’s history has been since then.Alsace is one of the most picturesque of all vineyard areas, with its fairy-tale towns, with winding narrow streets and half timbered houses that are straight out of a Grimm’s tale.Alsace is divided administratively into two halves; the Haut Rhin and Bas Rhin. The northern Bas Rhin is the less favoured, lying as it does in a position where the mountains are lower and the protection less. It is here that many of the grapes for Crémant d’Alsace (sparkling wines) are grown. The southern end is the Haut Rhin, a region that is strewn with famous named villages such as Ribeauvillé, Kaysersberg and Bergheim.Climactically speaking, Alsace is dominated by the Vosges mountains which protect the region from rainbearing west winds. Indeed, Alsace basking in the Vosges rain shadow is the second driest vineyard area in France and enjoys summers and autumns where blue skies are the norm for weeks on end.
