Description

Stift Goettweig Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs 2016

Grape Varietals: 100% Chardonnay from Kremstal, Austria. The grapes for the sparkling wine come from their top cru Silberbichl. Chardonnay grows on sandy Danube gravel subsoil, which is covered with calcareous loess-clay deposits. The term "silver" comes from the mica slate sections that occurin the deep soil layers

Whole cluster pressing; alcoholic fermentation in a small wooden barrel; after a few months of lees contact in a small wooden barrel, classic bottle fermentation starts. Disgorged after 30 months without dosage.

Complex & Classic Sparklings

From buttery brioche to baked apple and toast, this style encapsulates vintage Champagnes and other aged sparkling wines from around the world

Methode Champenoise

The key element of the traditional method is secondary fermentation in the bottle, often achieved by adding a liqueur de tirage to the base wine. The end result is a soft, fine bubly mouthfeel
