Dirler-Cade Alsace Riesling 2023 750ml

Domaine Dirler-Cadé is a family estate in Bergholtz, Alsace, now in its fifth generation. Jean Dirler married Ludivine in 1998, and from the 2000 vintage the estate took the name Dirler-Cadé and added her parents' plots. It has been organic and biodynamic since 1998, carries the Biodyvin label and holds four Grand Crus: Saering, Kessler, Kitterlé and Spiegel.

This is the estate's AOP Alsace Riesling. The 2023 was harvested across the estate's holdings, including Grand Cru sites and Belzbrunnen; about 70% of the estate's Riesling grows on Grand Cru land. It's sealed with a screw cap.

Expect navel orange peel and a touch of apricot, then a racy, slender, crystalline palate and a bone-dry finish.

Against Dr. Konstantin Frank Dry Riesling, the Dirler-Cadé is the biodynamic Alsace style with Grand Cru fruit in the mix; for a bone-dry Riesling with Old World pedigree, choose the Dirler-Cadé.

Pour it with choucroute, oysters or grilled fish. Serve it well chilled.
