A beautifully fresh and lively Sylvaner from Alsace, bursting with citrus, white flowers and delicate orchard fruit. Dry, crisp and wonderfully refreshing, it's a lovely expression of this often-underrated Alsatian grape.

Tasting note

Fresh citrus and delicate floral aromas lead into a lively, zippy palate with hints of lemon, green apple and stone fruit. There's a lovely rounded quality beneath the freshness, finishing clean, crisp and refreshingly dry.

Food pairing

A brilliant match for fresh seafood, oysters and grilled fish. Also lovely with charcuterie, quiches or a classic Alsatian onion tart.

The winemaker

Domaine Gérard Metz is a family-run estate based in the village of Itterswiller, with winemaking led by Eric Casimir and his family. The estate has developed a reputation for expressive, terroir-driven Alsatian wines, with a focus on careful vineyard management and traditional winemaking. The Sylvaner is fermented using natural yeasts and matured on its lees, helping to build texture while retaining its fresh, aromatic character.

The region

Alsace sits in north-eastern France, tucked between the Vosges Mountains and the German border. Its relatively dry climate, diverse soils and long growing season make it particularly well suited to aromatic white grape varieties. Sylvaner is one of the region's traditional varieties, producing fresh, dry and approachable wines that are particularly good alongside the local food culture.
