Annamaria uses grapes from both the region she grew up in, that of Barabas, and from the village of Mad in Tokaj, where she buys from an organic grape producer, the famous Furmint. Robin is one of the producer's own favourite wines and as with all her wines everything is done manually and without the use of equipment. Even the removal of sediment from the...
Mad the village, Disorder the name of the wine, Annamaria carries the "madness" of her youth and never stops creating wines that are exciting and outside the norm. It may be that the "humble" non-denomination of origin 100% Furmint she produces cannot have the name of the variety on the label, as the law only allows it for wines of Hungarian origin, but...
Ripe fruit in the foreground along with spicier, mineral aromas and floral notes of dried flowers and nuts. The palate has a nice texture and moderate volume, balanced acidity and citrus peel with ripe apricot and banana. It is extremely enjoyable to drink and does not lack personality and character. Not intended for long aging but will evolve over 3-4...
Deiss himself describes it as an "iron fist" wrapped in a velvet glove to describe this combination of tannic power of Gruenspiel's lands and dense fruit, all culminating in a huge long finish. A wine that insistently demands food. Dry, tannic, firm yet dense at the same time with great extract. The wine evolves in a surprising way as it ages, with the...
Organic and biodynamic vineyards at the end of the village with the classic non-intrusive Deiss winemaking that allows the terroir to express itself freely in their wines. Whole bunch pressing, spontaneous fermentation and maturation with lees for 12 months in foudres. The soils are rich in silica with the vineyard substrate being clay-calcareous. A dry...
A field blend vineyard with Riesling varieties, the different Pinots of Alsace and some Muscat and Chasselas. Organic and biodynamic farming as in all 26 hectares of Deiss vineyards with an also old-school approach to winemaking, a reference to Alsace's past. Pressing of blended grapes with whole bunches, spontaneous fermentation and maturation for 12...
Intense toasted and dry-fleshed aromas from the barrel, with smoky notes around a core of ripe almost exotic fruit. Tensions are piercing, with the bouquet developing beautifully in the glass. The palate has the natural harmony of all the Champalou family wines. The volume and richness of the wine are balanced thanks to its spectacular - razor-like -...
"Les Pierres Plates" comes from the homonymous vineyard in Reuilly on limestone soils filled with fossilized shells in an area that was once the bottom of a large sea. The vineyard is biodynamically farmed and in the winery interventions are minimal, highlighting the specificity of the terroir. Pulsating, lemony fruit, on a nose of crystal clarity with...
It will not remind anyone of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. The green notes are in the background, while the intense lemony aromas and fruit like green apple and grapefruit come out in front, giving it freshness combined with a very mineral chalky character. With its acidity levels you feel it is dry to the bone, very refreshing and relatively light and...
Its name means the cradle of the fairies and is borrowed from the forest bordering the young vines of the Domaine aux Moines estate. The vines are grown organically and with biodynamic practices and the wine is produced with a perfectly gentle natural vinification, with indigenous yeasts and no added sulphites. The wine is vinified and matured in...

A wine from a continuous vineyard of twenty acres of dense planting, cultivated with mild techniques and with very low yields (only 4 to 5 bunches) per plant. Fermentation starts in stainless steel tanks and during the fermentation the wine is decanted into foudres and 500l demi-muids. Maturation takes place for 10 months in contact with fine lees and the...
