Alsace
Producers
Protected by the Vosges mountains to the West and bordered by the Rhine to the East, the Alsace region enjoys a particular microclimate which means it has, amongst other things, 100mm less annual rainfall than its Western neighbour Nancy.
Trapped in the frontier between France and Germany, Alsace takes the best of both countries making beautiful Germanic aromatic wines in a French style. They are the ultimate in food complementing wines.
“When I joined the wine trade in the 1960’s, O W Loeb, then specialising in Germany, Burgundy and the Rhone, was recognised as ‘the wine merchant’s wine merchant’. The same core specialities are still there in force and a lot more as well and Loeb is still the place to buy your wine.”
