Domaine Dirler-Cad 's Brut Nature is a sparkling masterpiece that showcases the sparkling heritage of Alsace, where the traditional method has been used to craft fine bubbles for over a century. Sourced from biodynamically farmed vineyards in the communal soils of Bergholtz, this cuv e is a testament to the family's dedication to purity. By eschewing any dosage (added sugar) at disgorgement, the estate allows the natural minerality, crisp acidity, and pristine fruit of the Alsatian terroir to express themselves with absolute clarity. The wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle and is aged on its fine lees, resulting in a sparkling wine of remarkable precision, delicate autolytic complexity, and a vibrant, dry finish.

Established in 1871 by Jean Dirler in the village of Bergholtz, Domaine Dirler-Cadé is a pioneering force in Alsace's biodynamic wine movement. Now run by the fifth generation, Jean-Christophe Dirler and his wife Ludivine Cadé, the estate expanded in 1998 through the union of their family vineyards. The domaine is deeply committed to ecological balance, achieving full biodynamic certification and utilizing traditional horse-drawn plowing to preserve the soils of their prestigious Grand Cru plots, including Kessler, Spiegel, Saering, and Kitterlé. They are highly acclaimed for their precise, terroir-driven white wines, particularly mineral-rich Rieslings, expressive Pinot Gris, and elegant Gewurztraminers.Lineage and respect for the land define their craft, producing wines of exceptional purity and longevity.Address: 13 Rue d'Orschwihr, 68500 Bergholtz, Alsace, France.
