Marcel Deiss Rotenberg 2023

Marcel Deiss Rotenberg 2023 is a distinctive dry white from Alsace, built on a thoughtful blend of Riesling and Pinot Gris that combines richness, freshness, and a pronounced sense of place. From the historic Rotenberg hillside in Bergheim, this is a wine that balances ripe citrus character with a firm mineral backbone and impressive ageing potential.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright golden hue. The nose is lifted and precise, with lemon, lemongrass, orange peel, and a stony mineral edge that gives the wine real definition. The palate is both generous and tense: layered citrus fruit, a saline mineral thread, and a tightly woven, elegant structure that keeps the wine long and focused. It is excellent now, but its concentration and balance suggest it will develop beautifully over time.

Production
Rotenberg comes from a south-facing site in Bergheim, on the historic 'Red Hill' terroir. The soils are made up of Jurassic oolitic limestone and iron-rich red earth, which contribute both ripeness and a firm, juicy mineral texture. The grapes are gently whole-cluster pressed, then undergo spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts. The wine is aged for 12 months on fine lees in large oak casks, a method that adds depth and mouthfeel while preserving the wine’s natural tension and clarity.

Food & Serving
This wine is a superb match for foie gras, shellfish, fine fish, spiced poultry with ginger, and fresh goat cheese. Serve chilled, ideally around 10-12°C, and consider a short decant if opening young to let the aromatics unfold more fully.
