Edelzwicker by Roger Heyberger

Riesling Riesling is a white grape that's all about crisp acidity and fresh, zesty flavours. It can taste like green apple, lime, peach, or even a bit floral, but the main thing is it's never boring or flat. Riesling wines can be bone dry or pretty sweet, so check the label before you buy. They're usually light in body but with a punchy, refreshing kick—great for hot days or spicy food. Classic for German and Alsace wines, but you’ll find good bottles from Australia and Austria too.

Pinot Blanc Pinot Blanc makes fresh, easy-going white wines that are a bit like a chill cousin of Chardonnay. Expect crisp apple, pear, and sometimes a touch of melon. It’s not super aromatic or flashy, but that’s sort of the point. The wines are usually light to medium-bodied with zippy (but not sharp) acidity, making them refreshing without being mouth-puckering. Pinot Blanc works well with food and is often found in still or sparkling styles. If you want something straightforward and clean, this grape delivers.

Gewurztraminer Gewurztraminer is a white grape that packs a punch. Expect big, bold aromas—think lychee, rose, and a bit of spice. The flavour is intense and sometimes a little sweet, but it isn’t always sugary; some can be pretty dry. It’s usually full-bodied and soft, with low acidity, so it’s rich and feels smooth in your mouth. Gewurztraminer often tastes a bit oily or viscous, making it a standout compared to lighter whites. It’s a go-to with spicy food (especially Asian dishes) and strong cheeses. Don’t chill it too much or you’ll mute its flavours. If you like lots of personality in your wine, give this a go.

Sylvaner Sylvaner is a white grape that makes fresh, straightforward wines. It’s usually light to medium-bodied with crisp acidity. Flavours are subtle—think green apple, pear, and sometimes a hint of herbs or earthiness. This isn’t a punchy or tropical wine; it’s more about being clean and easy to drink. Sylvaner shines with light dishes like salads, fish, or veggie food. If you want a simple, no-fuss white that won’t steal the spotlight, this is a solid pick.

Roger Heyberger Roger Heyberger is a family-run winery in Alsace, France, known for clean, straightforward white wines. They focus mostly on Riesling and Pinot Gris, producing wines that balance freshness with a bit of texture. Nothing over the top here—just honest, easy-to-enjoy Alsace wines that work well with food or on their own. Their approach leans toward traditional with a modern touch, avoiding flashy techniques. The wines are clear, mineral-driven, and show the region without fuss. If you want something reliable from Alsace without any drama, Roger Heyberger is a solid pick.

Alsace Alsace is in northeast France, right on the border with Germany. It’s got a cool climate, which means grapes ripen slowly and keep their fresh, zingy character. Alsace is best known for white wines, with the big four being Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, and Muscat. Wines from Alsace are usually dry or just off-dry, super aromatic, and crisp. You’ll also find some decent Pinot Noir for reds, but it’s mainly a white wine spot. If you like clean, food-friendly wines with good acidity, Alsace is a safe bet.

France France is where a lot of the world’s wine rules started, for better or worse. The big regions are Bordeaux (famous reds like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot), Burgundy (mainly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay), Champagne (for bubbles), and the Rhône Valley (Syrah, Grenache, and friends). You’ll also find Loire (known for Sauvignon Blanc) and Alsace (think Riesling and Pinot Gris). French wine can be pricey and confusing, thanks to all the rules around regions and labels. But there’s a huge range: from simple everyday stuff to bottles that cost as much as a holiday. Whether you want red, white, rosé, or sparkling, France pretty much covers it all.
