The area of Eguisheim produces some of the finest and richest and most concentrated wines of the Alsace. The Gewürztraminer is particualarly wonderful, being dry, but with exotic aromas and the slightest hint of lychee fruit and residual sugar on the back palate. This is a wine to savour, and is perfect with Asian cuisine, especially Thai and Chinese food.

Bruno Sorg Established in 1970 and now run by son François, Domaine Bruno Sorg is based at Eguisheim just south of Colmar. Although only a small producer, the domaine makes wine from almost every Alsace variety in small quantities but to a very high standard. François believes that his wines owe their quality to the work he accomplishes in the vineyard. His Gewürztraminer is typical of the variety, with a tropical fruit nose and a fresh intensity dry but with fruit sweetness and an elegant spicy finish – perfect with asian food.
