Here’s mind-blowing proof that Germany can produce sparkling wines that can match high-end prestige cuvee champagnes! Spectacular aromatic complexity with notes of fresh yellow apple, dried pear, brioche and grilled baguette, as well as delicate notes of red berries and candied citrus. And this is married to a spot-on interplay of mouthfilling creaminess, chalky freshness and tingling, very fine mousse. Fabulously elegant finish! A cuvee of pinot noir, pinot meunier and chardonnay that was matured on the lees in the bottle for 6 years. Zero dosage. Drink or hold.
