It's the kind of quietly generous move that says more about the estate's priorities than any label ever could.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rounded and textured rather than lean — ripe apple and pear fruit with real depth, a faint honeyed note, and a soft, broad palate that belies Sylvaner's reputation as Alsace's simple, everyday white. Good with quiche, choucroute, or a wedge of Munster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hand-harvested old vines, farmed biodynamically across the estate since 1998; the fruit is fermented and given time to build texture rather than rushed through for a purely crisp, neutral style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: Jean and Ludivine Dirler again — the choice to keep Grand Cru-quality fruit in a Sylvaner bottling instead of chasing the bigger price tag on paperwork is a fairly Dirler-Cadé move: a domaine that's always cared more about what's actually in the glass than what the label says.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Dirler-Cade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43127936516194,"sku":null,"price":63.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/1339\/1970\/files\/DirlerCade-Sylvaner.png?v=1784651284","url":"https:\/\/boundbywine.com\/products\/domaine-dirler-cade-sylvaner-vieilles-vignes-alsace","provider":"BoundbyWine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
