✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Domaine Dirler-Cadé's Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives represents the pinnacle of Alsatian sweet winemaking, born from a tradition of patience and deep respect for nature's cycles. The term 'Vendanges Tardives' refers to late-harvested grapes left on the vine to concentrate their sugars, often kissed by Botrytis cinerea, or noble rot. Sourced from the estate's meticulously tended biodynamic vineyards—frequently utilizing parcels in prestigious Grand Cru sites like Kessler or Spiegel—the grapes are harvested by hand in successive passes. The soils of Bergholtz, rich in sandstone and clay, impart a structural minerality that beautifully balances the natural opulence of the grape. Historically, late-harvest wines in Alsace were reserved for special family celebrations and visiting dignitaries; Dirler-Cadé honors this heritage by producing a wine of breathtaking aromatic complexity, showing classic notes of lychee, rose petal, ginger, and honeyed apricot, underpinned by a vibrant, life-giving acidity.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Domaine Dirler-Cadé blev grundlagt i 1871 i den sydalsaciske landsby Bergholtz og forener to historiske vinfamilier, som fandt sammen i 2000 ved ægteskabet mellem Jean Dirler og Ludivine Cadé. Vingården er en sand pioner inden for biodynamisk vinavl i Alsace og omlagde allerede sine marker til biodynamik i 1998 for at fremme den naturlige biodiversitet og bevare jordbundens vitalitet. Familiens fremragende parceller tæller historiske Grand Cru-marker som Kessler, Kitterlé, Saering og Spiegel samt markante lieux-dits som Belzbrunnen og Schimberg. Dirler-Cadé nyder stor international anerkendelse for sine knastørre, terroirprægede Riesling-vine, ranke Pinot Gris, aromatiske Gewurztraminer og fint strukturerede Crémant d'Alsace-mousserende vine.
