ORIGINS
Winery: Josmeyer

Alsace is a French wine region located in the northeast of the country, bordering Germany and Switzerland. It is renowned for its unique wines, which are made from a variety of grapes and styles.
Alsace has a long and varied history of winemaking, dating back to the Romans. The region has been under the control of both France and Germany over the centuries, and this has had a significant influence on the wines produced here. Alsace was annexed by France in the late 19th century, and since then, the region has become known for its distinctive wines.CUSTOMER RATING
