Domaine Bruno Sorg is a respected family-owned winery located in Alsace, renowned for producing elegant, terroir-driven wines. Established in 1965, the estate focuses on crafting high-quality Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot Noir, showcasing the unique character of Alsace’s diverse soils, including limestone, granite, and sandstone. Their wines are celebrated for their purity, balance, and aromatic complexity, reflecting the region’s cool climate and exceptional terroir.

Domaine Bruno Sorg follows sustainable viticulture, avoiding chemical treatments and prioritizing soil health. Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness and gently pressed to preserve delicate aromas. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks using natural yeasts, ensuring minimal intervention. Certain wines are aged on lees for added complexity and texture. The result is a range of expressive, mineral-driven wines with vibrant acidity, precision, and a clear sense of place, making Bruno Sorg a benchmark in Alsace winemaking.

Alsace, located in northeastern France along the German border, is a unique wine region renowned for its aromatic white wines and strong sense of terroir. Sheltered by the Vosges Mountains, Alsace enjoys a semi-continental climate with low rainfall and abundant sunshine—ideal for slow grape ripening and concentrated flavours.

The region's complex geology features a mosaic of soil types, including limestone, granite, clay, and volcanic soils. This diversity allows for nuanced expressions of grape varieties and distinct vineyard identities.

Alsace specialises in white wines, particularly from noble varieties such as Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Muscat. These grapes produce wines that are typically dry, although late-harvest styles like Vendanges Tardives and Sélection de Grains Nobles offer luscious sweetness with remarkable ageing potential. Flavours range from citrus, green apple, and stone fruit in Riesling, to exotic spice, lychee, and rose in Gewurztraminer, and rich, smoky notes in Pinot Gris.

Wines are mostly varietally labelled and bottled in the region’s distinctive tall, flute-shaped bottles.

Pinot Noir is one of the world’s most celebrated and challenging grape varieties, renowned for producing elegant, complex wines. Believed to have originated in Burgundy, France, over 1,000 years ago, it thrives in cooler climates where its thin skin and early ripening nature are best suited. Viticulturally, Pinot Noir is notoriously difficult to grow: it is susceptible to rot, mildew, and pests, and requires precise canopy management to balance ripening with acidity retention.

Pinot Noir is planted across the globe, with notable expressions found in Burgundy, Champagne, Oregon’s Willamette Valley, California’s Sonoma Coast, New Zealand’s Central Otago, and Germany’s Baden and Pfalz regions. In Champagne, it is a key component of sparkling wines, typically blended with Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. The wine's diverse geographical range means that you might also find it labelled as Red Burgundy, Pinot Nero, Blauburgunder, or Spätburgunder.

The grape produces wines of delicate colour but remarkable aromatic depth. Typical flavour profiles include red fruits such as cherry, raspberry, and strawberry, often layered with floral notes, earthy undertones, and hints of spice or forest floor as the wines mature. Styles range from light and silky to more structured and age-worthy, depending on climate and winemaking choices. Pinot Noir’s ability to express terroir with precision makes it a favourite among wine lovers, despite — or perhaps because of — its demanding nature in the vineyard.
