a sparkling example of German craftsmanship in sparkling wine. This wine is made from a carefully composed blend of Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, grapes that ripen perfectly in the sunny yet temperate climate of Baden. The wine is produced using the traditional method, with the second fermentation taking place in the bottle, resulting in a fine mousse and a beautiful balance between fruit and acidity. In the glass this Crémant shows a brilliant golden-yellow colour with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is fresh and elegant, with aromas of green apple, citrus and subtle toasty notes from long ageing on the lees.
As an aperitif and with seafood
