Wine Description:
The Marcel Deiss Alsace Grand Cru 'Altenberg de Bergheim' is a quintessential representation of Alsatian terroir and winemaking skill. Crafted from a blend of indigenous grape varieties like Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Gewurztraminer, among others, this Grand Cru wine hails from the esteemed 'Altenberg de Bergheim' vineyard. The vineyard is known for its unique geological composition, featuring limestone, marl, and sandstone, which contributes to the wine's complex mineral profile. The Marcel Deiss winery employs biodynamic practices, and the wine undergoes fermentation with indigenous yeasts, followed by aging in large, old oak casks. The result is a multi-layered, aromatic, and intensely flavored wine that stands as a testament to the region's capabilities.

Wine Expert Note:

The Marcel Deiss Alsace Grand Cru 'Altenberg de Bergheim' captivates from the first sniff. The nose is a mesmerizing mix of ripe fruits like apple, pear, and quince, followed by notes of honey, ginger, and a host of exotic spices. As you sip, the palate unfolds with the complexity only a field blend can provide—citrus fruits harmonize with orchard fruits and are punctuated by tropical nuances. The wine's lively acidity and mineral backbone make it exceedingly balanced, ensuring each element shines without overshadowing the others. Spicy and floral undertones add to the wine's complexity. The finish is long and remarkably refined, leaving you with a lingering sensation of fruits and minerals. An exemplary bottle for any lover of Alsace wines or for a momentous occasion.
