In Brief

Light and fresh wine, dry and easy to drink with discreet flavours of white flowers and the terroir of Alsace. A wine for every moment.

Tasting Notes::

Edelzwicker is a blend of Pinot Blanc, Sylvaner, Chasselas et Riesling grapes. Light and fresh wine, dry and easy to drink with discreet flavours of white flowers. A wine for every moment, a warm wine.

The Wine:

Edelzwicker is an Alsatian wine term taken from the German words "edel" (noble) and "zwicker" (blend). The term dates back to 1644, when the so-called noble varieties in Alsace were differentiated from those judged to be of lesser quality. RieslingPinot GrisGewurztraminer and Muscat fell into the noble category, while Pinot BlancSylvanerChasselas and Auxerrois were relegated.

Thus Edelzwicker wines comprised only the noble varieties (which were distinct from the more generic "Zwicker" label being used to denote less-prestigious blends) until 1970, when the term "Edelzwicker" was deregulated. The term "Edelzwicker" is now used more out of nostalgia than a legislative requirement.

In the 21st Century, the term has been adopted by a small group of winemakers in the United StatesAustralia and elsewhere, seeking to replicate the traditional Alsatian field blend (whereby the grapes are harvested and fermented together, as opposed to being vinified separately and blended at a later date, after fermentation is complete).
