Rodney Fletcher Vintners : our Alsace wines

Alsace wines are another of those sectors which 'the trade' has always raved about but have nevertheless failed to enter the mainstream. The region, with its turbulent history of changing hands between France and Germany, produces some very distinct wines which, while far more French in content, are often confused with those from neighbouring Germany due to their appearance, labelling and the use of some very German sounding grape varieties. This is, however, where the similarities end and the wines listed below provide an excellent opportunity for those wishing to acquaint themselves with something a little different
