This white wine was vinified according to the so-called principle of complantation. Loosely translated, it means "planting together." Marcel Deiss's winemaker is a strong advocate of this method, in which various grape varieties are planted together. The idea is that the terroir, rather than the characteristics of the grape varieties, takes center stage in the wine. In Alsace, this technique is perfect, as the soil types are rotated every few kilometers. This constantly changes the terroir. For this Alsace Complantation Blanc, the blend consists of Pinot Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Gewürztraminer, and Sylvaner. This ultimately results in a fruity wine with a good body.

A wide range of Marcel Deiss wines

Founded in 1947, the leading winery Marcel Deiss has grown enormously thanks to its biodynamic Alsace wines. They have approximately 32 hectares of vineyards, where the terroir plays a key role. By using various grape varieties planted together, they create a wide range of wines, each with its own distinct character. And that is precisely what has made them so famous. The vines for this Alsace Complantation Blanc have an average age of 35 years and are planted on limestone soils. They respect the natural balance of each grape variety, so they have to intervene as little as possible in the winery.

The balanced Alsace Complantation Blanc

The grapes are harvested by hand and taken almost immediately to the winery. Here, the grapes are gently and slowly pressed. Each vintage is assessed for grape quality, and based on this, vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks or oak barrels. Alcoholic fermentation then takes place at a low temperature. Finally, the Complantation Blanc is aged for a year on the fine lees. This white wine has a pale yellow color. The aroma is delightfully fruity, with notes of lemon, pineapple, peach, and white flowers. On the palate, it has a soft flavor followed by a fruity and juicy character.
