About Domaine Dirler-Cade
Founded in 1871 by one Jean Dirler in southern Alsace, this family-owned domain is now run, five generations later, by another Jean Dirler. Though it bottles Pinot Noir, the domain is best known for its dry, classically structured, mineral-rich white Alsace varietals.

(100% pinot blanc) Pale color. Flint, minerals and spices on the lively nose. Juicy and quite taut, with firm acids giving shape and grip to the citrus and peach flavors. Tastes drier than its 9 g/l r.s. owing to near riesling-like acidity. Noteworthy intensity of flavor here, but I'd give this very young wine a bit more time in the bottle.
