Ironically, the Alsatians are proudly French and the wines are very distinct from German wines. Apart from Edelzwicker , which is a blend , and Cr mant d'Alsace , most Alsace wines are made from a single grape variety and are sold as Alsace AC or Alsace Grand Cru AC . These can vary in style from almost dry to unctuously sweet.
Labels indicate both the grape variety and, increasingly, a specific lieu-dit or vineyard name.
The unique terroir of the latter should be revealed in the wine.
