This is a great value, dry French Riesling. The nose is open, pleasant and intense with citrus, lime and floral notes and a mineral touch. The palate is medium bodied, round and full. Citrus and floral flavours are bolstered by a generous acidity.
Another cracker form Deiss, this Pinot Gris from Alsace is flavoursome with body to burn and flavours of baked apples, pear and nectarine, confected by hints of sultana and toffee on the palate.

The seemingly maverick wines of Domaine Marcel Deiss pay homage to historical field blends made in Alsace, France; a region steeped in controversial history between France and Germany, countries which have both fought and both won (and lost) ownership of this territory. This is why the wines in Alsace are made from grapes more commonly associated with Germany, such as in this wine.

We are thrilled to have the wines of Domaine Marcel Deiss back in store, only this time with a wider range than we have had in the past. These cult French wines come from Alsace in north east France; the country's driest wine region and a territory long disputed between the French and the Germans. This history accounts for why these wines are made from grapes classically considered to be German in origin. All Deiss wines are certified organic, made from grapes grown biodynamically and they break new ground in style and quality. Many are field blends, made in homage to historical growing methods where many different grape varieties grew together alongside each other, were picked together and fermented together.
This medium bodied, complex dry white is a blend of three classic Alsace white grapes, Muscat, Riesling and Pinot Gris with a little Pinot Noir added in, which comes from vines planted between 1977 and 1997, which are grown at high density of between 8,000 and 12,000 vines per hectare on white gravels.
This grapes are pressed slowly from whole clusters for up to 12 hours followed by wild yeast fermentation with the wine being aged for 12 months in large old foudres.
The result is a complex dry white made from three great white grapes and one red. Maverick? Definitely. Delicious? Absolutely.
This is a great wine from the home of Pinot Gris. The aroma is lively, floral and complex with notes of elderflower, citrus and green apple. The palate is rich, balanced and spicy, with crisp, pure fruit flavours.
From 45-70+ year old vines, this is proper Pinot Blanc from Alsace. The soft, honeyed apple and stone fruit is delicious but restrained, so what can shine through is the beautiful texture and layers of mineral and spicy/herbal notes. Schoffit's cuvee includes the rare Auxerrois variety that traditionally shared the same name as Pinot Blanc in Alsace. An elegant starter for aperitif, fish or white meat. "This is flat out delicious wine!"
Floral on the nose, with a hint of spice, the palate starts off on exotic fruits, giving way to lychee fruit and a slightly sweet finish, but well balanced with acid.
Grape 100% Gewurztraminer
Food Matching: Terrine, spicy & exotic dishes, ap?ritif
