Details
This sparkling wine from Alsace utilises local grape varieties like Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois, and Pinot Gris, and the results are spectacular. The wine is crisp and fine, with a light mousse, and delivers in spades. Look for flavours of pear and melon, mandarin peel and a faint hint of honey on toast. Very enjoyable, and easy to reach for another glass...

Pairing guide
A good bottle of Cremant is always the perfect reminder that celebrations and festive events don’t necessarily call for sparkling wines from Champagne, and this release from Caves de Turckheim delivers biting freshness, flavour and charm in no half measures. It’s a great wine for cracking open alongside filo pastries, mini quiches, baked cheese canapes and all kinds of party food, and it’s also excellent with seafood grills, pork sausages and nachos or loaded fries. Salmon dishes, chicken breast with white wine sauce, and even apple or pear-based desserts will be wonderful with this characterful fizz.

Wine region
Alsace, France
The Alsace wine region is located in northeast France and is known for producing high-quality white wines from aromatic grape varieties (also known as the 'noble' varieties). The region has a cool climate, which allows the grapes to retain their acidity and produce bright, fresh flavours and aromas. Alsace is divided into four main wine-producing areas and is known for its "terroir-driven" wines, which means that the character of the wine is strongly influenced by the specific vineyard where the grapes are grown. The region also produces small quantities of red and rosé wines and sparkling wines made using the traditional Champagne method. The four noble white varieties are; Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris and Muscat.
