Marcel Deiss champions field blends, and this skin-contact wine from the cru of Rotenberg highlights this philosophy. Planted on iron-rich marl in Bergheim, it is a field blend of Alsace's most important grapes, including Riesling and Pinot Gris. It is macerated on the skins in clay and sandstone amphora for 10 months, then aged for another 2 months before bottling. Spicy, rich and aromatic, a perfect gastronomic wine.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 92
"As the name suggests, the 2021 La Colline Rouge is from the Rotenberg on iron-rich Jurassic limestone. It spent 12 months on skins in amphora and is a field blend of Riesling and Pinot Gris. It is unfiltered and unsulfured. The color is golden. The nose has an aromatic, floral aspect, verging into orange peel. The palate has a lovely almond bitterness with a linear direction. There is inherent coolness, and the acidity is wonderfully lip-smacking, still shimmering with dried orange peel. Incredibly appetizing." -Anne Krebiehl MW
