This Sylvaner, cultivated on prestigious plots, benefits from refined winemaking that highlights its purity and distinctive character. The varied soils, combining sandstone and limestone, impart a unique mineral depth, while fermentation with indigenous yeasts and aging on lees in century-old oak casks give the wine a harmonious texture.

Our opinion on the vintage
Dirler-Cadé
Biodynamic farming has profoundly transformed Dirler-Cadé's approach to terroir, particularly in the Grand Cru vineyards of Kitterlé, Saering, and Spiegel. The estate produces remarkably precise Rieslings, where the acidic structure supports a solid, almost crystalline aromatic foundation. The Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris display a mastery of residual sugars rarely seen in Alsace, resulting in balanced wines that are never heavy. Extended aging on the lees adds volume without masking the mineral character of the soils. A key winery for understanding the diversity of the Bergholtz hills.
