Marcel Deiss ‘Complantation’ Alsace Blanc '23

A field blend from the legendary Marcel Deiss, this wine shimmers with a bright gold color. The nose is profoundly complex and layered, an intricate tapestry woven from stone fruit, citrus, flowers, and spice—think white peach, apricot, orange blossom, and ginger. The palate is equally captivating, offering a rich, opulent texture that is masterfully balanced by a vibrant acidity. Flavors of honeyed pear, mandarin orange, and a spicy minerality unfold across a long, evolving finish. True to Deiss's philosophy, this wine is made from co-planted, inter-ripening varieties fermented together, creating a harmonious and complete expression of the vineyard's terroir rather than a single grape. Earning 94 points for its breathtaking complexity, it is a wine to ponder on its own or pair with richly spiced dishes, foie gras, or roasted pork.
