Presentation of "Les Grands Concours"

The ambition of Les Grands Concours du monde is to foster the promotion of grape varieties throughout the world, to give producers the opportunity to present their best wines and to offer consumers the unassailable credibility of concrete results with the guarantee of the competence of professional international tasters (oenologists, wine waiters, celebrities from the wine world, cellar men, wine merchants, specialist journalists, etc.)

Following the procedures in 2010 to call on the patronage of the OIV (International Organisation of Vine and Wine), the 3 international wine competitions have been controlled and the OIV has decided to give its prestigious patronage to Strasbourg Evénements!

Portrait of a grape variety

Gewurztraminer is a pink grape with white juice with a high sugar content. Full flavoured and exuberant, powerful and seductive, this grape variety has a high alcohol content and is very aromatic. It gives a wine a fruity, floral nose with strong spicy overtones. "Gewurz" means "spicy" in German and Alsatian.
Although it is produced primarily in central Europe, north-eastern France, Italy and Austria, it is also grown in the United States, Australia and Spain.
