Grand Cru Riesling Seminar -- Alsace

[Sherry'sWineandSpirits]

To be entitled to the Appellation d'Origine Controlee (AOC) Alsace "Grand Cru", grapes grown in this region must be from strictly limited individual vineyard sites. The exact geographic limits of the 50 named vineyards are determined via French legislation which places heavy emphasis on cultivation methods to ensure particular characterstics and standards are met every year.

With terrior ranging from sand to granite and limstone, the diversity this region's land exhibts guarantees the most stylistically unique and finesse-filled wines.
