Léo Dirringer's vintages

Granit'IK 2021–2023

Soléra from 2021, 2022, and 2023 made from old-vine Auxerrois and Pinot Blanc

from the slopes of Kalkstahl, a manganese-rich granite

The wine has a bright straw-yellow color with rose-gold highlights

The nose offers a light, natural profile, with notes of warm apple, frangipane, and subtle smoky notes from the reduction.

The palate is round, full-bodied, and enveloping, coating the entire palate with a soft, caressing texture, while being lengthened and invigorated by a delicate acidity—supported by a subtle effervescence that tickles the tongue.

The finish is lively and focused, with elegant bitter notes that lend it a bold character, and an acidity that lingers, highlighting notes of roasted white fruit and spices.

Riesling Grain de Sable

45-year-old vines on the granite-and-sand soils of Dambach

The color is golden and brilliant.

The nose is delicate, deep, and complex, with notes of yuzu, pear, candied angelica, and smoky and terpenic notes.

The palate is slender, stretched by a delicate acidity, unfolding a texture that is both dense and airy, refined, building in intensity to a crescendo, culminating in an explosive and exhilarating finish that blends citrus with mineral and smoky notes, complemented by faded rose and jasmine.

Alsace Virose 2023

Gewürztraminer Orange Wine

The color is orange-copper, slightly cloudy.

The nose is expressive, with notes of dried orange peel, rose petals, dried apricot, orange blossom, and oriental spices.

The palate combines fullness and structure, with an airy texture of almost unreal smoothness and flamboyant aromas that transport you to a souk in Marrakech. A light touch of carbonation ensures a refreshing finish.

The finish lingers on the palate without the slightest hint of harshness, while intensifying the flavors of rose, honeysuckle, citrus peel, peach, apricot, and mild spices.

This wine is a delightful replacement for Neumeyer's Taureau, which the winemaker has stopped producing, and has 3% less alcohol.
