Vineyard & ViTICULTURE

Produced from two massal selection plots, one located in the Heisse Wanne in the heart of the Grand Cru Kessler in Guebwiller, planted in 1958, and the other on the edge of the Grand Cru Saering, planted in 1969. Heisse Wanne is located on sandy-clay-sandstone terroir. This plot is mainly on a substrate of sandstone from the Buntsandstein, producing deep, reddish sandy clay soils. Vines are averaging 61 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. 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.
