Marcel Deiss Gewurztraminer

Marcel Deiss Winery generally produces wines exclusively according to the principle of complantation, where different grape varieties are planted together. But this Gewurztraminer is an exception to that rule. In this case, the special, yet challenging, Gewurztraminer grape takes center stage. During the ripening process, when acid depletion begins, this doesn't always coincide with the optimal moment for aroma development. And that's precisely what makes it so challenging. The balance between aromas and acidity is essential. In this Marcel Deiss version, it's perfectly achieved. Wonderful aromas with a beautiful balance of flavor.

12 months of maturation for Marcel Deiss Gewurztraminer

Marcel Deiss Winery is considered one of the finest wineries in Alsace worldwide. With a total of 32 hectares of vineyards spread across nine regions, they vinify superb wines using indigenous grape varieties. Terroir is central, and through environmentally friendly viticulture, they strive to bring out the full expression of the grapes. The Gewürztraminer comes from vineyards with limestone and clay soils. Once the grapes are affected by noble rot and have fully dried out, they are harvested by hand. At the winery, the Gewürztraminer grapes undergo a slow and lengthy pressing process. This is followed by alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The entire process is meticulously monitored so that interventions can be made at any time if necessary. Finally, the wine matures for 12 months on fine lees.

And after 12 months, it's time to savor this beautiful wine. With a pale yellow color and a fragrant nose, this wine seduces you from the glass to the first sip. We smell orange, honey, lychee, flowers, and ripe citrus. The palate is soft with a round mouthfeel, beautifully balanced by the slight residual sweetness. A unique wine that pairs well with strong cheeses, but also with a refreshing dessert.
