This blend skilfully combines \u003cstrong\u003eRiesling\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ePinot Grigio\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ePinot Beurot\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eMoscato\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/strong\u003e. The glass, with its straw yellow colour and greenish highlights, reveals clear fruity and floral notes that introduce a \u003cstrong\u003edry and distinctly mineral\u003c\/strong\u003e palate, with a vertical progression and a mouth-watering dynamic. The \u003cstrong\u003erough, stony texture\u003c\/strong\u003e gives depth and an enveloping energy, finishing with a sharp finale and a \u003cstrong\u003enoble bitter note\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis white originates in \u003cstrong\u003eBergheim\u003c\/strong\u003e, from a vineyard historically known as the “garden of angels”. The terroir is characterised by \u003cstrong\u003egravelly soils\u003c\/strong\u003e over a white subsoil and a marked water deficit. These conditions, combined with old, low-vigour vines, encourage low yields and concentrated grapes, giving the wine its typical stony character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction follows the principles of \u003cstrong\u003eorganic viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e, with strict management including short pruning, ploughing and composting. The primary aim of these practices is to \u003cstrong\u003elimit yields\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is essential to faithfully express the character of the land. Vinification is designed to preserve the solid structure and vertical tension of the palate. Thanks to this meticulous care, the wine develops an excellent \u003cstrong\u003eageing potential\u003c\/strong\u003e, able to rest in the cellar for around ten years.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“The Garden of Angels”, known as Engelgarten, is a Grand Vin by Marcel Deiss, a winemaker who has been producing high-quality wines for generations.
