2015 | Marcel Deiss | Grasberg

Exotic, fat and luminous semi-dry wine. Deep golden-yellow. A very lively wine, very tense, but deeply sedimentary on the palate. Great density of lining matter (return of peacock tail salivation), but the attack is lively, the sap chiselled, the fine and impressive length.a limestone wine, like a banner. Finesse, vivacity, vinosity. The taut length of a candied lemon.

Reviews:

• Anne Krebiehl: Smoke, earth, stone and citrus-lifted notions of Mirabelle plum rise from the glass with uncommon force. The vivid palate of this wine plunges into ripe citric depths, suggests profound fruit and freshness. Citrus lends precision within that generosity. This wine is creamy and generous. Citrus and Mirabelle aromas on the finish seal this deliciousness.

• Stephan Reinhardt: The citrus-colored 2015 Grasberg is beautifully pure, chalky/flinty, fresh and spicy on the nose, with deep terroir flavors along with perfectly ripe fruit aromas. Full-bodied, rich and round, with a generous sweetness, but also mineral grip and tension, this is a great, very complex and endlessly salty Grasberg that is mainly based on Riesling and Gewurztraminer. What great tension and purity here combined with perfectly ripe and lush fruit!

Producer Information

Marcel Deiss is a French wine producer located in the small village of Bergheim in Alsace. The Deiss family have been growing grapes in the region since 1744 with the domaine established in 1947. Today, the Deiss vineyards are planted to Pinot Gris, Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Muscat are produced as varietal wines as well as traditional field blends. The domaine covers 32 hectares (79 acres) of vineyard land planted on hillsides that spread over multiple communes. This includes land in the Mambourg, Altenberg de Bergheim and Schoenenbourg vineyards, all of which are produced as blends to showcase the character of the terroir rather than the grape. Marcel Deiss was instrumental in convincing the INAO to make varietal labeling optional for both AOC Alsace and Alsace Grand Cru wines. Marcel Deiss makes a range of wines at various levels of quality, from the generic Alsace AOC all the way up the Grand Cru wines. There is also a small range of Vendange Tardive and Sélection de Grains Nobles wines made from Alsace's noble varieties.
