Classified under the Appellation Alsace Contrôlée, which was officially recognized in 1962, this wine is crafted from the Tokay Pinot Gris grape variety. In accordance with the unique tradition of French wine culture in this area, the wine is named after its grape variety rather than a specific village or vineyard. The label features an illustration by J.P. Haeberlin, and the wine was bottled by Preiss-Henny Diffusion in the Haut-Rhin department.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSituated between the Vosges mountains and the Rhine valley along the German border, Alsace has a rich history shaped by alternating French and German influences. The vineyards stretch across a narrow belt on the east-facing slopes of the Vosges. The region is divided into two main departments, with the southern Haut-Rhin traditionally housing many of the most recognized vineyards. The semi-continental climate is heavily influenced by the Vosges mountains, which act as a natural barrier against rain and westerly winds. This rain shadow effect makes Alsace one of the driest and sunniest wine regions in France, ensuring a long and stable ripening season for the grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe geological landscape of the area is exceptionally complex due to historical fault lines. Within short distances, the vineyards feature a diverse mosaic of soil types, including granite, limestone, schist, clay, gravel, and the local pink sandstone known as grès de Vosges. As is customary for the region's production, this white wine is traditionally presented in the characteristic tall, slender bottle type known as a flûte d'Alsace.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Preiss-Henny","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57434381517126,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1376_d6da47a0-823e-4e33-87a8-e7a23876e51a.jpg?v=1790156331","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.nl\/en\/products\/alsace-tokay-pinot-gris-preiss-henny-1984","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
