Marcel Deiss is considered a true pioneer in Alsace, particularly because of their progressive approach to winemaking. Unlike many other wineries, they emphasize the concept of "vin de terroir." This means they believe a wine's unique flavor stems from the interaction of various elements, such as soil, climate, grape varieties, and the winery. Instead of focusing on individual grape varieties, they strive to produce wines that reflect the essence of their terroir. Each of their wines tells a unique story, reflecting the richness and diversity of Alsace.
The vineyards in beautiful Riquewihr are meticulously maintained and strictly adhere to the principles of biodynamic agriculture. A unique approach they use is planting different grape varieties together and harvesting them simultaneously. This allows the aromas and flavors of the grapes to beautifully blend into the wine. The soil here is exceptional, rich in marl and covered with mineral-rich pebbles. This gives the wine a strong structure that only improves with age.
Upon opening a bottle of Marcel Deiss Riquewihr, you're immediately greeted by a delightful aroma. Sweet notes of ripe fruit blend with subtle hints of spice and earth, creating an engaging and inviting experience. But it's not just about smelling; as soon as you take a sip, you discover a rich array of flavors that tantalize your senses. The perfect balance of sweet and sour, with a hint of minerality, makes every sip a true delight.
