✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1871 in the southern Alsatian village of Bergholtz, Domaine Dirler-Cadé represents the union of two historic winegrowing families, merged in 2000 following the marriage of Jean Dirler and Ludivine Cadé. A pioneer of biodynamic viticulture in Alsace, the estate converted its vineyards to biodynamics in 1998 to respect natural biodiversity and preserve soil vitality. Their prime vineyard holdings encompass historic Grands Crus—including Kessler, Kitterlé, Saering, and Spiegel—alongside distinct lieux-dits such as Belzbrunnen and Schimberg. Dirler-Cadé is globally renowned for its bone-dry, terroir-driven Rieslings, vibrant Pinot Gris, aromatic Gewurztraminers, and finely textured Crémant d'Alsace sparkling wines.
