Brut Nature Pinot Rosé 2014 Bernhard Huber 75 cl

Description

History

Bernhard Huber’s professional career and connection with his land are closely linked to the production of Pinot Noir, known locally as Spätburgunder. The Baden region has a long tradition of cultivating this noble red grape variety. As early as the 13th century, the Cistercian monks who dedicated themselves to research and microzoning noticed the strong pedoclimatic analogy between Burgundy and this German region, located between Alsace, the Rhine and the Black Forest. Bernhard, from the earliest times, understood the importance of these historical roots and started a project to restructure local viticulture, which was still too anchored to the cooperative realities of the decades preceding the war. Today, Bernhard’s wife, Barbara, and son Julian, produce 5 different varieties of wine, among which the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir stand out, which have been defined “the best in Germany and among the best ever” by Jancis Robinson .

Grapes used

Pinot noir 100%

Production method

It is produced according to the so-called methode champenoise or classic method, a method in which the wine substantially undergoes two different fermentations: the first, the alcoholic one (which it shares with the rest of the wines) takes place in vats for fermentation; the second instead takes place directly in the bottle and ensures that during this second procedure, thanks to particular yeasts, the wine also develops carbon dioxide (which will then give life to the famous bubbles when uncorked)

Alcohol content

12.5%

Tasting notes

It has a bright pink hue. On the nose, it reveals complex aromas of ripe red fruit, notes of dried fruit and light toasted nuances. In the mouth, a full and enveloping structure is perceived, with a pleasant creaminess. The oxidative character gives the wine an elegant persistence and a surprising depth of flavours, with accents of stewed fruit, almonds and light hints of caramel. A unique and fascinating experience for the most daring sparkling wine lovers.

Possible combinations

This sparkling wine with an oxidative style goes well with fish dishes, such as sushi and sashimi, shellfish and oysters. Also perfect with soft cheeses and light appetizers.
