✨ Technical Specifications
Domaine Dirler-Cad 's Riesling Brut Nature is a sparkling masterpiece crafted in the traditional method, showcasing the electric vitality of Alsace's noble grape without any added sugar to mask its terroir. Sourced from biodynamically farmed vineyards in Bergholtz, the grapes are gently pressed and undergo secondary fermentation in the bottle, followed by extensive lees aging. The 'Brut Nature' designation highlights the estate's commitment to purity, resulting in a bone-dry sparkling wine where the searing acidity and deep, sandstone-driven minerality of Riesling are laid beautifully bare. It is a vibrant expression of Alsatian sparkling tradition, echoing the family's centuries-old devotion to their land.
🍾 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.
