For the fourth vintage of our Grosse Reserve Extra Brut, we were once again able to draw on excellent grape material from the 2019 vintage, which was harvested by hand very early in September in our Tiefenthal vineyard. For pressing, we used only whole, undamaged grapes, without destemming or crushing, and only the first crushings – the so-called . heart – were used. For bottle fermentation, we gave our sparkling wine 40 months to mature in absolute silence in a cool, dark cellar tube. It was disgorged in July 2024.
This single-varietal Chardonnay sparkling wine has a crisp and fragrant nose of fresh meadow flowers and white apple fruit. It is crisp on the palate with fresh acidity and fine fruit and spice. Mineral finish with hints of pome fruit and subtle length.
