Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high acidity, off-dry
Marcel Deiss is Alsace's great heretic — the estate that fought to have wines classified by place rather than by grape, and now bottles field blends from single villages with the varieties co-planted and picked together, exactly as Alsace worked before varietal labelling took hold. Riquewihr is one of those village wines. Expect a white of texture and layered aromatics rather than a single varietal signature: ripe orchard fruit, citrus peel and white flowers over honeyed spice and a stony, saline depth. Full-bodied with high acidity, often a whisper of residual sugar, and a length that sets it apart from varietal Alsace.
