Bernard-Massard Elbling

You wouldn't say it, but Elbling is one of the oldest German grape varieties. Up until the beginning of the nineteenth century, three quarters of all German vineyards were full of it. Nowadays it is a forgotten grape. You can still find Elbling in Luxembourg, where they like slender, fresh wines.

Bernard-Massard is the leading producer there. His Elbling is light, citrus-fresh, slightly mineral and not too alcoholic. Especially nice on the terrace in the sun. And especially when a waiter walks by with a pan of mussels.
