WINE DESCRIPTION
Dirler-Cadé Crémant d'Alsace Brut Nature is a bone dry sparkling wine that produced in the Alsace region located in Northeast France. The wine is made the same way as in Champagne, crafted using the traditional method which involves a second fermentation in bottle. This wine is an assemblage of Pinot Gris and Auxerrois harvested early to retain acidity and delicacy of flavor. The wine undergoes around 36 months of maturation on lees to gain notes of brioche and pastry. Finally, the wine is disgorged to rid it of its sediment and recorked ready for release.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Dirler-Cadé Crémant d'Alsace Brut Nature shimmers in the glass with a pale straw color and fine bubbles.On the nose, it reveals a delightful array of fresh green apples, citrus zest, and hints of white flowers. These aromas are complemented by subtle mineral notes, adding depth and complexity to the overall profile. Upon tasting, the wine displays a crisp acidity, which is balanced by a creamy texture derived from the fine mousse. The flavors of green apple, pear and lemon zest continue to shine, accompanied by a touch of brioche and almond. The absence of dosage allows the natural fruit flavors to take center stage, resulting in a bone-dry and refreshing finish.
