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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine \u0026amp; Food Pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis versatile gastronomic wine pairs beautifully with shellfish, oysters, grilled fish, and refined sushi or sashimi dishes.

This poor, well-draining soil results in low yields and grapes with exceptional concentration and minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDomaine Marcel Deiss belongs to the absolute elite of Alsace and enjoys international recognition for its progressive vision of terroir. Unlike the traditional Alsatian approach, where the grape variety is central, Deiss focuses entirely on the expression of the vineyard. Engelgarten is therefore produced according to the principle of complantation: different grape varieties are planted interspersed in the same vineyard, harvested simultaneously, and fermented together. This creates a wine that does not so much reflect a grape variety, but rather the unique character of its origin.\u003c\/p\u003eThe vineyards are cultivated entirely biodynamically, with great attention to biodiversity, soil life, 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 impressive terroir expression.\u003cp\u003eIn short: \u003cstrong\u003eA refined and mineral-driven Alsace wine that impressively demonstrates why Marcel Deiss is considered one of the greatest interpreters of terroir worldwide.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscover more wines from the fantastic \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/marcel-deiss\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #B2002B\"\u003eMarcel Deiss winery\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e from Alsace. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards\/Distinctions \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e93+ points Robert Parker (Wine Advocate) – 2022 vintage \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e93 points Vinous (Anne Krebiehl MW) – 2022 vintage \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e94 points James Suckling – 2022 vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePrevious top vintages are also regularly rated between 91 and 94 points by professional tasters, depending on the vintage. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Marcel Deiss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58944369983813,"sku":"P18712","price":39.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1078\/1183\/2133\/files\/a790f668ca1749f11f609b14a8ec9ac0666e9441.jpg?v=1787299937","url":"https:\/\/vechtstreekwijnen.nl\/en\/products\/bio-marcel-deiss-engelgarten","provider":"Vechtstreek Wijnen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
