WINE DESCRIPTION
Marcel Deiss Alsace Rouge, a biodynamic marvel from the AOC Alsace, showcases the Pinot Noir variety with finesse. Situated in Bergheim, Marcel Deiss tends 20 hectares of vineyards, embracing the region's diverse native grapes. Renowned for prioritizing terroir character over varietal distinction, they champion natural winemaking with minimal intervention. The Rouge emerges from ecologically nurtured vines in limestone, gravel, and granite-rich soils, employing organic and biodynamic practices. Meticulously harvested by hand, destemmed, and gently extracted, the wine matures for 12 months—50% in barrels, 50% in deposits—resulting in an unfiltered, fruity, and vibrant expression of Alsace's unique soil and climate.
