Alsace’s ‘fresh and fruity’ vintage down 22%
June 11, 2011
Alsace wines have seen a large fall in volumes in the 2010 vintage following problematic weather conditions.
Total production was down almost 22% to 911,950hl after a year described by trade body the CIVA as “complex”.
Following a “hard and long” winter, bud break was late and May was “chilly and damp”. Ripening was aided by some fine weather in July.
“As harvest approached, various measurements of ripeness confirmed a high concentration of sugars in the grapes, as well as raised levels of acidity,” CIVA said.
“However, due to the erratic weather, ripeness was uneven, both in terms of individual varieties and in terms of vineyard parcels across the region.”
The professional body said the 2010 wines are “fresh and fruity” which “bodes well for their ageing potential”.

With new golf courses springing up in and around Clark Philippines and an ever-increasing patronage by tourists from neighboring South Korea, Clark Freeport is short on hotel accommodation.
Even with the addition of 27 holes in 2009 and 2010, there is an acute shortage golf tee times for at least 5-6 months each year. Local players compete with frustrated (golf) tourists from Korea and China for tee times. Unfortunately Clark Philippines doesnβt have the luxury of vast tracts of land suitable for this type of development.
Mimosa offers 36 holes of championship golf, visitors can pay and play, busy during the weekends but not that difficult to get on or join up with a group to form a 4-ball. The new FAKCC offers 27 holes of world-class golf.
