Tasting Note BIO Marcel Deiss Grasberg
The Marcel Deiss Grasberg is an elegant and complex terroir wine with aromas of ripe citrus, lime, white peach, and apricot, refined with notes of honey, flint, and subtle spices. The palate is dry, rich, and mineral, with vibrant acidity, a wonderful balance, and a long, refined finish.
Wine & Food
This gastronomic terroir wine pairs excellently with turbot, sea bass, lobster, langoustines, and scallops. Its refined character also comes into its own with poultry in creamy sauces, veal, Asian dishes with subtle spice, and aged hard cheeses.
Other information
The Grasberg comes from a steep hill near Bergheim in Alsace, where the calcareous soil and excellent sun exposure produce grapes with exceptional concentration, freshness, and minerality. The name Grasberg literally means "grass hill" and refers to the natural vegetation that contributes to rich biodiversity. The vineyard is farmed entirely biodynamically, in accordance with the philosophy of Domaine Marcel Deiss, where the terroir is always more important than the grape variety.
As is customary with the terroir wines of Marcel Deiss, the Grasberg is produced according to the principle of complantation. This involves various traditional Alsatian grape varieties—including Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Gewürztraminer—planted together, harvested simultaneously, and co-fermented.
This creates a wine that reflects not a single grape variety, but the unique identity of the vineyard. After a slow pressing, the must ferments spontaneously with natural yeasts, after which the wine matures for a long period on the fine lees in large traditional wooden casks. This provides extra complexity, texture, and exceptional terroir expression.
In short: An impressive terroir wine in which power, finesse, and minerality come together seamlessly. The Grasberg shows why Marcel Deiss is considered one of the greatest ambassadors of Alsace worldwide.
