✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the sandstone-rich slopes of the Schwarzberg lieu-dit in Bergholtz, this late-harvest masterpiece reflects the deep history of Alsace. The historical designation 'Tokay Pinot Gris' recalls the legendary tale of Baron Lazare de Schwendi, who allegedly brought vines back from the Hungarian town of Tokaj after fighting the Turks in the 16th century—though ampelographers later proved the grape was actually Pinot Gris. Under the meticulous biodynamic stewardship of Domaine Dirler-Cadé, the grapes are left on the vine to undergo noble rot, concentrating the sugars and acidity. The resulting Vendanges Tardives is a luscious, complex nectar that balances opulent sweetness with a vibrant mineral backbone derived from the unique terroir of the Schwarzberg.
🍾 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.
