Tasting Notes
A unique, traditional method, sweet sparkling red wine. Aromas reminiscent of red fruits, especially red cherry, redcurrants and sweet blueberries. On the palate, the sparkling red has a wonderful creamy richness and full-bodied mousse, packed full of ripe summer fruits, with a hint of sweet spice on the finish. The Dornfelder grapes were crushed and fermented on the skins in stainless steel for 4-5 days. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation and maturation in tank. A specialist red wine yeast was used for the first ferment and then the 18-2007 Champagne yeast for the bottle fermentation before aging on lees for 15 months.
