Deiss Langenberg La Longue Colline 2023

Deiss Langenberg 'La Longue Colline' 2023

• Region: Alsace
• Sub-Region: Bergheim
• Varieties: Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Beurot, Muscat, Pinot Noir

Vineyard Grown in the Langenberg lieu-dit, characterized by its poor, stony soils of colorful sandstone. Jean-Michel Deiss is a pioneer of "field blending," where multiple varieties are grown together and co-fermented to express the unique energy of the site rather than the specific grape.

Wine A profound and intellectual wine that represents the pinnacle of Alsatian terroir. It offers a complex, shifting bouquet of citrus oil, exotic spices, and wet stone. The palate is structural and powerful with a crystalline acidity and a deep, saline mineral core that persists for minutes.
