Alsace La Vigne en Rose Vignoble du Rêveur 2020

The wine

It’s clear that the aim of each cuvée from Vignoble du Rêveur is to transport us to an enchanted land. This wine has a nose of flowers and lemon, a palate that is both balanced and fresh. This organic and biodynamic wine is made of 60% Gewurztraminer and 40% Riesling. The vines are around 40 years old and come from the commune of Bennwihr in alluvium soil. After the manual harvest, the grapes are vinified in stainless steel vats before a year-long maturation on lees. 10% of the Gewurztraminer grapes are added just before bottling with the aim of giving the wine a lively finish and natural tannins. This method reduces the amount of sulphur needed.

About the Producer Vignoble du Rêveur

‘Putting dreams at the centre of all we do, the dreams of our subconscious self that open up horizons.' This has been the main idea behind the running of Domaine Mischler (Bennwihr) since its renovation in 2013. It previously belonged to Mathieu Deiss' family. His grandfather had an unquenchable thirst for freedom, so Mathieu saw fit to pay homage to him by building this domain on an ideal of independence and innovation. None of the grapes are bought from elsewhere; everything that is vinified and matured here is grown on the domain's parcels. It could be said that the family dream has come true! The 7 hectares of land are cultivated organically and biodynamically. Marcel Deiss' son has decidedly inherited the family talent, and he makes wonderful use of it, adding in the dynamism that comes with his youth. One of Alsace's rising stars, notably reputed for his high-quality orange wines.
