Le Sommelier presents a special offer of the wines of Vignobles du Rêveur…
Mathieu Deiss, who works with his father Jean-Michel at the winery Marcel DEISS, created Vignoble du Reveur in 2013. Translating as ‘The Dreamer’s Winery’, Mathieu farms grapes from the vineyard of his maternal uncle, Cassien Mischler, who unfortunately became ill in 2011 and unable to take care of the vines. The independent winery’s 7 hectares are located in Alsace’s Bennwihr. Together with his wife Emmanuelle Milan, they are fulfilling their dream to make biodynamic, natural wines that transcend the limits of grape variety, through innovative vinification and maceration, aging in amphora, and bottling without filtration or sulphur.
We are thrilled to welcome these stunning new wines to Ontario, and continue our long relationship with the Deiss family.
To launch the Vignoble du Reveur portfolio, we’ve created a special limited edition Mixed Case Vignoble du Reveur six pack, so you have the opportunity to try all of their wines together.

Singulier 2019
This dry Alsatian orange is a carbonic maceration coferment of Riesling and Pinot Gris, with 10 days on skins prior to a native ferment in large oak barrels, without any additions. The wine aged for one year on fine lees prior to bottling with a very low level of sulfites. Pouring a slightly hazy, deep gold hue, this medium bodied wine streams grippy apricot and peach skin, orange blossom, and exotic florals along the sleek, saline palate. Very textural and savoury through to the dry finish.

Un Instant sur Terre 2019
Pouring a deep, hazy orange hue, this is 50% Pinot Gris, 40% Gewürztraminer, 10% Riesling, from 40 year old vines, macerated for 8 months in clay and sandstone amphora on skins, with an additional 3 months in clay amphora without skins. This was bottled without filtration or sulphur. Intense and full in the mouth, but with an amazing salinity and freshness, this dry wine teems with bergamot, white tea, mineral salts, honeycomb, and apricot. There’s a firm, fine stencilling of tannins housing this to the lengthy finish. Beautiful harmony throughout.
