Description
From Rosheim, in the heart of Alsace, Jean Marc Dreyer has forged an intimate relationship with his land, opting from the outset for uncompromising biodynamic viticulture. The "Dreyer Origin Muscat Macération" wine was born as an act of rebellion and curiosity: what if the delicate Muscat d'Alsace could show another face, more complex and textured, if left to macerate like the reds? Few did so at the time, and many advised against it. But Roda followed his intuition, trusting in the natural expressiveness of the varietal and the granite, limestone and schist soils that surround his vineyards. The result: a wine that not only defies expectations, but reinterprets Alsatian tradition with wild elegance.
Winemaking
Made from 100% Muscat d'Alsace, Dreyer Origin Muscat Macération is an orange wine that starts with a fermentation with skin maceration, allowing the skins to yield aromas, colour and structure. After this phase, the wine is transferred to a large foudre, where it remains for 11 months on its lees, without filtration or additives, respecting the living matter of the wine as much as possible. It is bottled without make-up, like a faithful photograph of the terroir and the vintage.
Taste
Dreyer Origin Muscat Macération has golden-orange tones and a deeply expressive nose: orange blossom, lychee, basil, tangerine peel and a touch of white spice. The palate is surprisingly sharp and fresh, balanced by an enveloping texture reminiscent of tea or dried apricot. The acidity sets the pace, cleanses the palate and gives way to a persistent mineral salinity. A dry, complex wine with a marked personality, ideal for pairing with Asian cuisine, cured cheeses or spicy dishes. It is a Muscat that does not seek to please everyone, but to seduce with authenticity those who are looking for character, tension and liquid truth.
