The Marcel Deiss winery is known for its deep connection to the terroir and its commitment to biodynamic principles, resulting in wines that reflect both the spirit of their origins and an innovative approach to winemaking. The Grasberg is no exception; it is the result of a careful blend of varietals that together create a complex wine from the Jura limestone terroir.
The Grasberg vineyard, situated atop the Grand Cru "Altenberg de Bergheim," stands at an impressive altitude of 340 meters. Its northeasterly exposure contributes to the unique characteristics of the wine produced here. Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Gewürztraminer grow together in this vineyard, planted in soil rich in limestone but poor in water and nutrients. This forces the vines to dig deep for nourishment, resulting in a wine with a lush and exotic flavor, enhanced by a subtle sweetness.
The Marcel Deiss Grasberg has an inviting yet complex aroma, with hints of sweet citrus, rose petals, mint, marjoram, black pepper, and even a touch of bacon. This blend of aromas creates a captivating experience that awakens the senses. Upon tasting, the wine surprises with its round and persistent flavor, where slightly sweet notes blend beautifully with fresh citrus fruit. The soft and rich flavor of this wine combines perfectly with its freshness and striking minerality, resulting in an exceptionally long finish. This makes the Grasberg an unforgettable choice for any wine lover. Every glass of Marcel Deiss Grasberg invites you on a culinary journey, perfectly paired with refined fish dishes or any dish that calls for a mineral wine with citrus undertones.
