Tasting note BIO Marcel Deiss Engelgarten
The Engelgarten is a sophisticated and characterful terroir wine that makes an immediate impression with its expressive aromas of citrus, ripe pear, white peach, and blossom, complemented by subtle notes of fennel, white herbs, and wet stone. On the palate, the wine presents itself as dry and elegant, with a beautiful tension between ripe fruit, lively acidity, and refined minerality. The long, harmonious finish is characterized by freshness, finesse, and a subtle saline character.
Food Pairing
This versatile gastronomic wine pairs beautifully with shellfish, oysters, grilled fish, and refined sushi or sashimi dishes. It also combines excellently with asparagus, light poultry dishes, and soft goat cheese, while its elegance also allows it to shine as a luxurious aperitif.
Other information
The name Engelgarten, or "Garden of the Angels," refers to a historic lieu-dit near Bergheim in the heart of Alsace. The vineyard is situated on a unique alluvial soil with deposits of sand, gravel, and pebbles from the nearby Ill river. This poor, well-draining soil ensures low yields and grapes with exceptional concentration and minerality.
Domaine Marcel Deiss belongs to the absolute elite of Alsace and enjoys international recognition for its progressive vision of terroir. Unlike the traditional Alsatian approach, which focuses on the grape variety, Deiss focuses entirely on the expression of the vineyard. Engelgarten is therefore produced according to the principle of complantation: different grape varieties are planted together in the same vineyard, harvested simultaneously, and co-fermented. This creates a wine that reflects not so much a grape variety, but rather the unique character of its origin.
The vineyards are cultivated entirely biodynamically, with great attention to biodiversity, soil health, and natural balance. After the manual harvest, a slow fermentation with natural yeasts follows, after which the wine matures in traditional large wooden foudres. This method results in a wine with remarkable precision, complexity, and an impressive expression of terroir.
In short: A sophisticated and mineral-driven Alsatian wine that impressively demonstrates why Marcel Deiss is considered one of the world's greatest interpreters of terroir.
