In Alsace, the grape name is often the first thing you see on the label. Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Muscat, Sylvaner and Pinot Noir provide a useful starting point, but the slope, village and soil matter just as much.
The region runs between the Vosges and the Rhine, where a dry, sunny growing season meets limestone, granite, sandstone, marl and volcanic rock. Those differences show up in wines ranging from dry Riesling and rich Pinot Gris to fragrant Gewurztraminer, late-harvest sweet wines and Pinot Noir. Its 51 named grand cru sites give more reason to look beyond the grape variety.
