Vineyard & ViTICULTURE

The Grand Cru Spiegel features south-and southeast-facing slopes. The stonier south slope yields subtle Rieslings with verbena-mint notes, aging to herbal teas and gentle minerality. The heavier southeast slope with limestone produces rich yet refined Gewürztraminer with persistent menthol notes. Vines with an average of 33 years old.

WINEMAKING & MATURING

Hand-harvested. The grapes are sorted directly on each vine. The whole grapes are pressed using a pneumatic press. Natural static settling. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel vats. The wine is aged on lees for 10 months.


The Winery

Domaine Dirler-Cadé represents 155 years of family dedication to winemaking across five generations. Founded in 1871 by Jean Dirler as Dirler Wines, it’s now guided by the fifth generation and renamed Dirler-Cadé from the 2000 vintage. First, as pioneers in producing sparkling wines in the region, the domaine also championed biodynamic viticulture from 1998, certified by Demeter and Biodyvin.

The 18-hectare estate includes nearly half its vines in four prestigious Grand Crus in Saering, Kessler, Kitterlé, and Spiegel–where the common characteristic of these terroirs is the eroded Buntsandstein sandstone, the presence of which in its pure state in certain plots is almost unique in the world. In the cellar, minimal intervention prevails: spontaneous fermentations, extended lees aging, and a philosophy that lets the vintage and soil speak for themselves.
