The Power of Terroir: Alsatian, German, & Austrian Whites You Need to Try

Alsace, Germany, and Austria continue to be some of the most dynamic and rewarding regions in the world of wine—regions that offer not just pedigree and history, but thrilling new releases year after year. What ties them together is a relentless pursuit of precision and purity, whether it’s the mineral drive of Dönnhoff’s 2023 Grosses Gewächs, the sculpted power of FX Pichler’s latest Wachau bottlings, or the quiet excellence of back-vintage Alsatian whites from Trimbach, Hugel, and Charles Baur. These are wines that don’t just deliver in the glass today—they age gracefully, deepen with time, and offer a glimpse into the soul of each region. This collection reflects the kind of craftsmanship that keeps me coming back vintage after vintage, and I’m excited to share it with you.

In today’s newsletter, Buyer Alex Pross takes readers on a journey through the white wines of Germany and Austria, two historic regions that make some of the finest, longest-lived whites in the world. Both Riesling and Grüner Veltliner have earned an enthusiastic sommelier following for their excellent ability to pair with all the trickiest dishes—sweet, sour, spicy are all even better next to the right Riesling; veggies and Grüner are absolute kismet together. The best part? The bounty of exhilarating wines to be had for under $40.
