The Pinot Sekt Rosé is a cuvée of 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Pinot Blanc, half of which was matured in used wooden barrels and the other half in steel. The vines are planted on loess-loam in cool side valleys and altitudes with east and north exposure up to 400 metres above sea level. The grapes are harvested at the earliest possible stage of ripeness in order to keep the acidity of the base wines stable. The whole grapes are gently pressed and only the cuvée, i.e. the juice of the first pressing, is used. Only when the dosage is added does the sparkling wine receive a small dose of sulphur.
Color
Old pink with constant perlage, radiant and clear.
Nose
Ripe wild strawberries, cherries and red currants fill its rich fruit basket. Added to this are light toasty notes reminiscent of freshly toasted boxed white bread with salty butter and raspberry jam. The animatingly fresh nose makes the lips purse purposefully towards the goblet.
Mouth
With a creamy texture and animatingly fine bubbly mousseux, it completely fills the mouth. The rather tart fruit is framed by salty minerality and lively, piquant acidity, which acts as a driving force to orchestrate this finely fruity sparkling wine with subtle notes of autolysis.
