Tasting Notes
A unique, traditional method, quality red sparkling wine. Aromas reminiscent of dark fruits, especially dark cherry and blackberry. On the palate, a full-bodied mousse, packed full of fresh hedgerow fruit, blackberry, damson, and sloes. The Dornfelder was crushed and then 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. Aged on lees for 15 months.
