This was served during my annual WWC hosting. Typical format of sparkler, three whites, four reds, one dessert, all served blind.
Marcel Deiss’s son is the winemaker. 50 Pinot Gris/40 Gewurtztraminer/ 10 Riesling. 100% whole cluster pressed for the Riesling and Gewurtztraminer, partially de-stemmed Pinot Gris. Macerated for 9 months in different amphorae.
I don’t know how you attach a score to this. Undoubtedly an orange wine, which I normally don’t drink. In color, it’s almost a pink tinge of orange. Aromatically, this could be Alsatian Muscat. Incredibly floral with a perception of sweetness. Strawberries romanoff, kiwi, orange blossom up front but the fruit fades to a more mineral/less sweet profile with great acidity. Very unique and worth seeking out more.

I can’t find any information about how this particular wine was made and im curious because this was one the best and most unique wines I’ve had in a while. Really fing good. I’ve had several of his other offerings which are great, but this was a big step up. I know from my shop over that this is biodynamic or at least trending that way and got some extended skin contact. Gorgeous.

Dark orange-bronze, oxidative, orange peel, astringent black tea tannins, this feels over the hill and not as fresh as a bottle last year (somewhat surprising given glass closure)
