About this wine

A light-bodied red that serves well chilled — a gentle entry point for white-wine drinkers curious about red.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can Alsace make good Pinot Noir?
- Yes — while historically overshadowed by Alsace's white wines, warming vintages have improved ripeness, and Willm's Réserve shows the grape's lighter, red-fruited side well.
- Should it be served chilled?
- A light chill (around 14-16°C) suits its fresh, fruity style, especially in warmer months.
- How long can it age?
- It has an aging potential of up to about 5 years, though it's best enjoyed young while its fresh fruit character is at its peak.

Gewurztraminer Réserve
WhiteGewurztraminer

ピノ・ブラン・レゼルヴ
Pinot Blanc Réserve
WhitePinot Blanc
A pale yellow, floral, and versatile everyday white. Aromas of elderflower, green apple, and pear lead to a smooth palate with fine balance between fresh fruit and subtle minerality, finishing clean and bright.
