Marcel Deiss Gruenspiel 1er Cru White 2008
34.80 €
Tax included
The dominant characteristics of the planted grape varieties (Riesling, Pinot, Gewurztraminer) give the wine a beautiful aromatic intensity with notes of citrus and toasted nuts, a phenomenal length, a slightly tannic structure, a power barely rounded off by this warm minerality so particular to rolled gravel: an iron fist in a velvet glove.
The name Gruenspiel comes from the heterogeneous nature of the surface soils, which are reminiscent of a checkerboard. The vineyard is managed using the ancient techniques of the Alsatian winemaking tradition such as complantation (the mixing of several varieties of grapes within the same plot), ploughing, digging, composting or grassing, all without weeding or chemical fertilizer.
It is in Bergheim, a small town nestled in the heart of wine-growing Alsace, 3 km from Ribeauvillé, that Domaine Marcel Deiss is located. Today managed by Jean-Michel Deiss, the Domaine cultivates 27 hectares of vines spread over 9 communes and about 20 km of Côte Viticole.
