Sylvaner Peau Rouge Josmeyer 2022
This dry, white wine consists of equal parts from the white Sylvaner, which we all know, and the red Sylvaner, banned in Alsace and very much embodies the Alsatian soul. The red Sylvaner's skins give a sense of spice and density and complement the zesty and herbal character of the white Sylvaner. We also find aromas of fruits of the orchard, William pear, flowers and spices. The acidity is long and fine, and a beautiful salinity reveals itself after a few minutes of aeration.

Domaine Josmeyer
The winery was established in 1963 when Hubert Meyer added the first three letters of his father's (Joseph) name to his family name. The family has been in the wine trade since 1854. Josmeyer is located in Wintzenheim, Haut-Rhin, Alsace, northeastern France, 4 km from Colmar, the department's capital. Twenty-eight hectares of vines, of which 3.5 hectares are Grand Crus Hengst and Brand, are planted with the usual Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Sylvaner, Muscat and Pinot Noir varieties. In 1995 they switched to organic and biodynamic agriculture, receiving a certificate in 2004. In the cellar, too, the processes are natural and without additives. Josmeyer makes mostly dry wines, with huge potential for aging and development in the bottle. If you want to enjoy a classic taste of the Alsace area, Josmeyer is your winique choice.

Alsace
Alsace is located in northeastern France, between the Vosges Mountains and the French border with Germany, marked by the Rhine. This is a long, thin region, 185 kilometers from north to south and only 40 kilometers from east to west. The key wine-growing regions here are located on the lower slopes of the Vosges, with eastern and southeastern exposure. Alsace specializes in white varieties such as Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris. These varieties, naturally distributed in neighboring Germany, in contrast, here are produced in a much drier style. The best presented are the dry and mineral Riesling, the spicy and strong Gewürztraminer, which go well with the local cuisine. Other interesting and noteworthy are the light and fresh Sylvaner, as well as Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris.

Silvaner
Някои смятат, че сорта Силванер произхожда от средната част на долината на Рейн, докато други смятат, че идва от Щирия. Силванер е широко разпространен не само в Австрия, но и в Германия и Източна Европа, където е ценен заради своите земни и ароматни вина, които със сигурност не са дълготрайни и зрели, но въпреки това са много привлекателни. Широко разпространен е и в швейцарския Вале под имената Johannisberg, Gros Rhin или Grüner Chasselas. Силванер постига най-добрите си резултати в Елзас, на границата с Германия. Обичайки студените региони, в Италия той на практика се отглежда само в Южен Тирол, особено в района на долината на река Айзак, което предполага, че е внесен от съседна Австрия. Силванер е много жизнен сорт грозде, чувствителен към пролетните слани. Той обаче обича студения континентален климат, поради което напълно отсъства в южната част на полуострова. Сортът осигурява високи добиви, с висока киселинност, която е по-осезаема, отколкото при другите сортове, тъй като леко му липсва структура. Контролирането на добивите обаче води до производството на вина, които най-добре изразяват ароматните му характеристики.
