✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Domaine Dirler-Cadé's Riesling Vendanges Tardives represents the pinnacle of Alsace's late-harvest tradition, where patience and nature's whims dictate the harvest. The term 'Vendanges Tardives' refers to grapes left on the vine to overripen, often developing noble rot or undergoing drying on the vine. Sourced from the estate's prestigious Grand Cru plots, such as the sandy clay-limestone soils of Kessler, these vines are farmed strictly under biodynamic principles. The family's commitment to horse-drawn plowing and minimal intervention allows the deep-rooted Riesling vines to channel the intense minerality of the terroir. The resulting wine is a masterclass in tension, balancing luscious natural residual sweetness with the searing, vibrant acidity characteristic of the noble Riesling grape, wrapped in complex aromas of candied citrus, honey, and petrol notes that develop with age.
🍾 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.
