Alsace has a history that dates back over a thousand years. The Romans first introduced grape growing to the region, and by the Middle Ages, Alsace was known for its high-quality wines.

Today, Alsace is one of the most prestigious wine regions in France and is known for producing some of the finest white wines in the world.

In Alsace it is known as Pinot Gris, in Italy it is Pinot Grigio.

It is one of the darkest-skinned grapes producing white wine and grapes can vary from grey-blue to brownish pink. This can produce wines with an incredibly deep colour. In Italy it makes simple table wines, whereas in Alsace it is one of the four noble varieites and is often used to make spiced and perfumed styles.

Lionel Reyser has taken on management of Domaine Hubert Reyser from his father Hubert. Born and raised on the vineyard, he has hardly spent a single day away from the fields. His passion for viticulture stems from his grandmother, who bought her first vineyard with her savings at the age of 14 and planted Gewürztraminer – a grape variety as generous and expressive as herself.
