Our wines
The historical region of Alsace is located in northeastern France, bordering both Germany and Switzerland. Its location on the German border has meant that this area has gone back and forth between both French and German rule over the centuries which can be seen in the present-day architecture, diverse cultures and traditions as well as the presence of both French and German language and of course the varieties of grapes. This narrow wine valley is landlocked between the Rhine and the Black Forest in the East and the Vosges mountains in the West, which provides protection and shelter from strong rain resulting in low annual rainfall. The area also benefits from mostly hot days and cool nights which produce great conditions for the slow ripening of the grapes which there are overwhelmingly made up of around 90% white.
The main types of grapes in Alsace include Riesling, Pinot Gris,
Gewürztraminer, Muscat d’Alsace and Pinot Noir.
At Wine Affairs we select all of our wines based on taste and quality and prioritise working with winemakers who use biodynamic and organic farming practices. We believe that this results in superior wine quality and that the winemakers’ passion and care for the terroir and environment are reflected in the taste of the wine, making it exceptional.
