Cellar

Elementary method Traditional bottle fermentation

Gentle pressing. The base wine is stopped during the first fermentation (temperature-controlled in steel tanks) and fermented a second time in the bottle unfiltered with yeast specially selected at the winery. The sugar comes exclusively from the grapes. After storage on the lees, the sparkling wine is riddled. No dosage is used at all during the disgorgement process. Only the natural carbon dioxide provides protection against oxidation.

Wine Description

The sparkling wine has a rich golden yellow colour and a different, exciting, "elemental" taste. Here, too, the philosophy of single-varietal sparkling wine remains true. Although the primary fruit is not as pronounced, the varietal character is clearly recognisable.

Tasting Notes

Bright golden yellow, green reflexes, persistent mousseux. Notes of ripe apricot, hints of papaya, dark minerality, meadow herbs, orange peel. Juicy, taut, tightly woven, balanced acidity structure, nuances of mature Riesling, white peach on the finish, salty aftertaste, good length, versatile.

Food Pairing

Pasta with bacon and peas, cheese platter, desserts such as lemon tart
