Made as aromatic dry aperitif whites (Alsace, Baden), off-dry and sumptuous botrytised liquoreux (Burgenland in Austria, Cotnari in Romania, Tokaj).

The wine region of Alsace Grand Cru 'Brand'
Grand Cru of Turckheim overlooking the Fecht (~58 ha, uniform pink two-mica biotite granite with quartz and feldspar, sandy and stony, full south, one of the driest in Alsace): signature Riesling (~2/3 of plantings) — poised minerality and well-integrated acidity with vibrant white fruits. Gewurztraminer and Weißburgunder as complement with concentrated, spiced notes. Early-ripening, warm microclimate sheltered by the Vosges, powerful and elegant wines.
The wine region of Alsace
Capital of great French aromatic whites, most often dry and single-varietal. Straight, mineral Riesling (lemon, gunflint), opulent, exuberant Gewurztraminer (lychee, rose, spices), round, smoky Pinot Gris, floral, crisp Muscat, supple Pinot Blanc. Fine, fruity Crémants d'Alsace, exceptional sweet Vendanges Tardives and Sélection de Grains Nobles. 15,500 ha at the foot of the Vosges on varied soils, 51 Grands Crus since 1975.
