Paul Blanck – A great wine maker in Alsace

I really love alsatian wines. Over the years I’ve been many times in this lovely place.

Travelling through the southern part of Alsace wine country, always my first stop is the impossibly pretty village of Kinetzheim, to visit Domaine Paul Blanck.

I have always appreciated the quality and prices of wines from this excellent wine producer.

Sylvaner is a variety of white wine grape grown primarily in Alsace and Germany. It is somewhat neutral but when grown on better terroirs and when yields are left low enough, it can be a flavorful aperitif wine. It shows a lot of self-confidence simply by being itself. Blunt, strong and good.

Fresh and clean, good acidity, green fruit, earth.

Perfect with simple dishes: salad, grilled tuna, vegetable or bacon quiche
