While Estate's in Alsace can be quite old, the Kublers have been growing grapes and making wine since 1620! For them it's all about terrior, the unique growing conditions that their vineyards posses to create the different and dynamic wines their family has become synonymous with. Each grape variety is planted according to soil type, and for the Pinot Blanc, the vines are an average of thirty years. The Kubler Cuvee "K" is a far cry from the plethora of thin, watery and insipid Pinot Blanc's out in the world today. This wine has plenty of flavor, depth and length. It's a great example of what well made, everyday wines from Alsace can be. Perfect with many seafood dishes like pan seared scallops.

For centuries this swath of land roughly 15 miles wide has been bandied about by conquering armies, spoils of war like any other. This violent fluctuation, as Jancis Robinson puts it, creates an ambivalence amongst the people towards their winemaking. Neither wholly German nor wholly French, but a blissful combination of both, the wines of Alsace when optimally realized are unique gems in the pantheon of wines. Varietals tend towards the Germanic types, while the winemaking sense is much more French in nature, veering more to a dry style. Unlike most of France, however, Alsace producers usually place the varietal name clearly on the front of their bottles.
