Domaine Bernhard & Reibel
Pierre and Cecile's vineyard is run organically and, unusually for modern Alsace, their wines are generally fermented out to complete dryness.
The Riesling in particular offers a real glimpse of the granite soil underneath. It remains a mystery amongst wine lovers as to why Alsace wines sometimes struggle to sell in the UK.

2004 Pinot Blanc Domaine Bernhard & Reibel
£9.94As the entry level wine from this tiny Alsace producer, we feel this is superb value. Much richer than perhaps expected and almost completely dry.
-
2006 Gewurztraminer Hahnenberg Bernhard & Reibel
£16.41A coming together of the richness of the grape variety and the minerality of the soil. A stunning wine grown on granite and displaying complexity and subtlety with Pierre's hallmark acidity on the finish.
-
2005 Gewurztraminer Domaine Bernhard & Reibel
£12.51What wine merchants drink! Rich and unctuous but at the same time bone dry and minerally. Perfect with paté.
-
2005 Pinot Gris Hahnenberg Bernhard & Reibel
£12.12Elsewhere known as Pinot Grigio, this variety has become incredibly popular and whereas most of what is produced is thin and light, this wine shows what can be achieved. Rich, dry and utterly delicious.
-
2005 Riesling Coup de Foudre Domaine Bernhard & Reibel
£10.74Riesling remains the criminally unrecognised king of white grapes. Alsace is arguably the home of this variety and Pierre has created a bone dry, delicious and not-too-expensive wine for drinking with most things but particularly good with spicy food.
-
2004 Riesling Rittersberg Bernhard & Reibel
£19.73Dry in a way the Germans can only dream about. A fantastic parcel of land produces this truly beautiful wine. Petrol and lime smells, powerful acidity in perfect balance. If you are not a Riesling fan, try this.
-
2005 Pinot Noir Futs de Chene Domaine Bernhard & Reibel
£18.21Harder to grow than some, Pinot Noir lends itself to medium-bodied, slightly more austere wines. This is a tremendous food wine and possibly the most exciting Pinot Noir we have seen for ages.
