By Randy Caparoso
(Marcel Deiss Engelgarten, Bergheim, Alsace) Biodynamics has been called kooky, "voodoo on the vine," yet it seems to be more self-sustaining and productive than straight organic viticulture could be. Biodynamics is also capable of yielding wines like the Engelgarten, a field blend of mostly Riesling and Pinot Gris, expressing not so much its component grapes as a specific terroir—a wine so mineral that it literally tastes like it was run through a filter of rocks and gravel. Still, the nose is honeyed, suggesting ripe, juicy, white-stone fruits, and a steely, austere entry quickly gives way to viscous sensations of that honeyed fruit before finishing full and stony dry.

Faintly corked. But still loads going on and in a fun spot for drinking. Waxy mushroom, earthy, a swimming pool, sweet mint tea, medium acid. A wild ride, but corked.

Especially Riesling with some Pinot Gris, Muscat and Pinot Noir.
Little gueuze in the beginning. little petrol but went out after rolling.
Mandarin, candied lemon and honey.
Very long middle palette this wine and some bitters who are after the end.
The acids were very good (Yearly that did play a little bit here)
Doubtful case of score 89-90

Petrol scent initially. Wax, anis, orange, fresh tasting but acidity a little lower than what I'd like in riesling (due to vintage?)

Color is dark amber. Nose is very fresh fruit. Taste is a little thin and acidity only adequately balanced. An adequate to good wine, not great, but enjoyable on a summer evening.
