{"product_id":"muscat-jean-marc-dreyer-alsace-natural-wine-france","title":"Muscat Origin Maceration 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003eJean-Marc Dreyer's Origin Muscat Maceration is a skin-contact wine made from 100% Muscat d'Alsace grown across 25 biodynamically farmed parcels around the village of Rosheim in Bas-Rhin, about 25 kilometers southwest of Strasbourg. The parcels sit on clay-limestone soils on the Vosges foothills, with no Grand Cru classifications in the area. The 2018 vintage delivered generous yields across Alsace, and Dreyer's macerated wines came through fermentation cleanly and with full fruit expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter harvest, the Muscat undergoes 10 to 20 days of skin contact using a manual vertical press, then moves into large old oak foudres where fermentation continues slowly over the winter with indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged in those same foudres for approximately 11 months before bottling unfined, unfiltered, and with no added sulfites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDreyer stopped using sulfur entirely around 2011, following a personal commitment made after a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. His barrels are never topped up, and the wines develop a light voile without taking on heavy oxidative character. The result is a wine that is dry, textured, and aromatic, with the saline finish that defines his Origin series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Origin series is built around single-variety skin-contact wines from classic Alsace grapes. Muscat d'Alsace is typically the most overtly aromatic of the lineup, showing the grape's floral terpene character alongside the weight and grip that comes from extended maceration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jean-Marc Dreyer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32299604574301,"sku":"1284","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/jean-marc-dreyer-muscat-maceration-origin-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780187258","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/muscat-jean-marc-dreyer-alsace-natural-wine-france","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
