Viticulture & Winemaking

HARVEST: manual.

YIELD: 30 hl/ha.

SORTING: in the vineyard and the cellar.

WINEMAKING: Each grape variety is vinified separately:

  • Pinot Gris: whole-cluster maceration in sandstone amphorae (300 liters to 7 hl) for 8 months.
  • Gewürztraminer: whole-cluster maceration in Goicoechea terracotta jars (Basque Country) of 7 hl in Riesling juice (10%) for 8 months. The terracotta jar has a higher porosity than sandstone, particularly well-suited to Gewürztraminer, which requires a higher oxygen supply than Pinot Gris.


Fermentation with indigenous yeasts and bacteria. At the end of the 8 months, pressing of the musts in terracotta jars for a short aging period.

AGING: 3 months in terracotta jars.

BOTTLING: without fining, filtration, or added SO2.

STOPPER: glass.

RESIDUAL SUGAR: 0 g/l.

NOTE: UN INSTANT SUR TERRE is a skin-contact wine bottled without filtration. It may therefore show a slight cloudiness in the glass; it must not be exposed to heat but stored in a cool cellar.

Sommelier's Note

"With this cuvée, Matthieu DEISS tests the effect of different aging materials: terracotta and sandstone. The result is stunning—what power! This energy-filled juice flatters the eye with its salmon color almost turning red, and delights the palate with its floral and fruity notes (rose, apricot, lychee). A total success!"
