Tasting note
Character
An uncompromisingly dry, elegant sparkling wine that bears the signature of two lifelong friends. In the glass, this 2020 vintage cuvée reveals a grapey-mineral texture and a delicate structure. Thanks to the consistent omission of any sweetening dosage as a Brut Nature, the pure, unadulterated fruit takes centre stage – supported by an invigorating freshness and stylistic finesse reminiscent of great classic sparkling wines.
Terroir & Origin
The grapes originate from the diverse sites of the Mittelhaardt and Südliche Weinstraße in the Palatinate, including renowned terroirs such as the Deidesheimer Mäushöhle or the Ruppertsberger Reiterpfad. The Andres & Mugler sparkling wine estate has relied on biodynamic farming here since 2010. Soil life and biodiversity – for instance through beehives in the vineyard – shape the ecosystem. The sandy and limestone-dominated soils impart a flinty minerality and a taut sense of origin to the Sekt.
Grape Variety & Vinification
The cuvée is based on the classic Champagne grape varieties Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. During pressing, Michael Andres and Steffen Mugler are highly selective, taking only about two-thirds of the must. The subsequent traditional bottle fermentation with months of lees ageing gives the sparkling wine its fine perlage and complex creaminess. At 12.0% ABV, the wine remains masterfully balanced throughout.
Food Pairings
With its uncompromising dryness, this Brut Nature shines as a sophisticated partner at the dining table. It pairs superbly with oysters, scallops or delicate sashimi. It equally enhances dishes such as turbot with lemon butter or a classic veal carpaccio.
