2024 Vignoble du Reveur, Vibrations

Alsace, France | 100% Riesling

The 'Vibrations' cuvée perfectly captures the experimental spirit of Mathieu Deiss and Emmanuelle Milan at Le Vignoble du Rêveur. This is their definitive statement on Riesling, taking the classic clarity of the grape and boosting its texture and depth through their unique, thoughtful approach.

This wine is primarily pure Riesling, but the magic comes from the subtle inclusion of a small percentage (5-10%) of briefly skin-macerated grapes. This short soak is enough to add complexity and that signature phenolic grip without making it an "orange wine." It’s all vinified in large oak casks (foudres) for nearly a year to build weight and harmony.

The bouquet is clear, elegant, and instantly aromatic, offering a mix of ripe white and even light tropical fruits, underpinned by the pure, refreshing mineral scent of their Bennwihr terroir. This literally pairs with anything - from spicy Asian cuisine to classic Alsatian ham and cheese. A delightful, soulful wine from this young, dynamic winery.
