✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Domaine Dirler-Cadé's Muscat Tradition is a dry, aromatic masterpiece that captures the vibrant essence of Alsace's winemaking heritage. Unlike the sweet, fortified Muscats of southern France, Alsace Muscat is vinified dry, offering an extraordinary sensory experience that mimics biting into a fresh, ripe grape. The Dirler and Cadé families, pioneers of biodynamic viticulture in the region, cultivate their Muscat vines in the sandstone and limestone-rich soils around Bergholtz. This terroir imparts a subtle, stony minerality that balances the grape's exuberant floral and fruit-forward character. Historically, Muscat has been cherished in Alsace since the 16th century, celebrated for its purity and its ability to herald the arrival of spring. Dirler-Cadé respects this legacy through gentle whole-cluster pressing, natural yeast fermentation, and aging in traditional foudres, resulting in a wine of exceptional clarity, vivacity, and dry elegance.
🍾 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.
