That’s a shame - it’s the cradle of best-in-class riesling, gewürztraminer, muscat, and pinot gris (the four noble varieties that appear on labels of Alsatian varietal wines) as well as delightful blends of those and other varieties - as in this wine. The Kuentz family started this venerable domain\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ein 1795; marriage with a member of the Bas family 100 years later established the current name - appropriately German-French, like Alsace itself. Farming is certified organic and biodynamic. This wine is a blend of the four noble varieties, plus sylvaner and pinot blanc, aged for 6 months in hundred-year-old big barrels. It’s an easygoing and generous white wine: stone fruit, ginger, a little fleshiness, and a lot of fun. And what a gorgeous, old-school label! The wine is highly adaptable to lots of Asian dishes, or go full Alsatian with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003etarte flambée\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e (essentially an Alsatian \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003epizza bianca\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e) or \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003echoucroute garnie\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Paul Marcus Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48263560954114,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0460\/0718\/9669\/files\/28190e45-8953-4135-a91b-2d910c6abee7_2f63ec37-6c15-410e-b13e-d363bd0de7e4.jpg?v=1786041041","url":"https:\/\/shop.paulmarcuswines.com\/products\/2025-kuentz-bas-alsace-blanc","provider":"Paul Marcus Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
