Vignoble du rêveur, "Un instant sur terre" 2020 - Alsace (organic, dry, orange wine)

Mathieu Deiss, in addition to taking the reins of the Marcel Deiss estate, created the Vignoble du Rêveur with his partner Emmanuelle Milan in 2013. Located in Bennwihr near Colmar, he inaugurates a new chapter in the history of the Mischler vineyard, the estate of his grandfather and his maternal uncle. The 7 hectares of vines are worked in Biodynamie. For Mathieu, the goal is to seek the truth of the fruit and to guarantee the transparency of the practices. He is not afraid to break with traditional Alsatian practices, on the contrary, he seeks to go beyond the limits of the grape variety by working the grapes in a different way, with new vinifications (maceration, vinification in amphorae, wines vinified without filtration, with little or no sulfur).

The cuvée Un instant sur terre is composed of Pinot Gris (50%), Gewurztraminer (40%) and Riesling (10%). The grapes are harvested by hand and no sulfites are added during the winemaking process. The grapes are macerated for nearly 8 months in clay and sandstone amphorae, bringing amplitude and fatness to the wine. It has great aromatic power and offers fragrances of rose, plum and raisin. In the mouth, the texture is silky, with a great freshness.
