{"product_id":"sylvaner-dietrich-1998","title":"Alsace Réserve Dietrich 1998","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Alsace Réserve Dietrich 1998 is a white wine produced by the Dietrich family, an estate with a history of passing down their craft from father to son since 1887. Bottled by Robert Dietrich in Wettolsheim, France, this wine carries the Appellation Alsace Contrôlée designation and is classified as a Réserve. It is crafted from the Sylvaner grape, a variety that traditionally supplements the region's noble grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLocated in northeastern France along the German border, the Alsace region lies in a narrow belt between the Vosges mountains and the Rhine river. The area has historically shifted between French and German rule, which has left a distinct mark on its wine culture. Alsace is unique within France for its tradition of naming wines after the grape variety rather than the specific village or vineyard. The region benefits from a semi-continental climate, heavily influenced by the Vosges mountains. This natural barrier creates a rain shadow effect, making Alsace one of the driest and sunniest wine regions in France and providing the grapes with a long, stable ripening season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards of Alsace are planted on exceptionally complex and varied soils due to geological fault lines. Within short distances, the terroir presents a mosaic of soil types, including granite, limestone, schist, clay, gravel, and the local pink sandstone known as grès de Vosges. In keeping with regional tradition, this 1998 Sylvaner is presented in the characteristic tall, slender bottle known as a flûte d'Alsace.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dietrich","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57238549201222,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-898_cca33f89-5fb4-4e0c-8b93-2b6b59d01b8d.jpg?v=1788266776","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/sylvaner-dietrich-1998","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
