This Alsatian wine is distinguished by its diversity of grape varieties (all the Alsatian varieties are interplanted) and its exceptional terroir, where fossil-rich limestone nourishes deeply rooted vines. The unique, warm, and sunny climate, along with the traditional practice of interplanting vines, contributes remarkable complexity. The harvest is a celebration of the terroir, allowing for a pure and balanced expression of its geological and climatic characteristics.

Our opinion on the vintage
From the first glance, this wine captivates with its dense color, tinged with sunset and molten metal. The surprising nose evokes a red wine with aromas of sap and cedar, evolving into notes of melon, peach, and mandarin, enveloped in honey and candied lemon. On the palate, it delivers an unforgettable power: a veritable torrent of acidity that transforms into waves of candied fruit and chocolate. The long, complex finish leaves a lasting impression, like a constantly flowing river. A wine that challenges and enchants.

In Bergheim, the Deiss family prioritizes the expression of the terroir over that of the grape varieties. Their mixed plantings produce profound, sometimes enigmatic wines, driven by a perfect ripeness. The acidity maintains a taut tension throughout. In short: a world apart.
