Blanc de Noir Prestige Brut Nature 2021 - Weingut Schmitt

Blanc de Noir Prestige Brut Nature - Weingut Schmitt

Blanc de Noir Prestige Brut Nature from Weingut Schmitt is a premium sparkling wine made from Pinot Noir grapes grown in Flörsheim-Dalsheim, on limestone and clay soils that give the wine complexity and distinctive character. After 10 months of maceration on the lees in oak barrels, the wine is produced using the Méthode Traditionelle, a classic Champagne production technique, with fermentation in the bottle to enhance its aromatic characteristics. Disgorgement occurs after 30 months of aging on the lees, ensuring a complex and well-balanced profile. The zero dosage indicates the absence of added sugars, resulting in a dry, fresh, and elegant sparkling wine, ideal for those seeking a natural and refined product.

Service

We taste it at a temperature around 8/10° C. Wine to drink in the vintage but left in the cellar for a few years can give you great emotions.

Pairings

Excellent as an aperitif, it is perfect with seafood salads, shellfish, soft cheeses, to try with a risotto with sea steals.

Winery: Weingut Schmitt

Beware of those two, it's easy to fall in love. Winery with 230 years of history now run by Bianka and Daniel, a couple in life and work who have managed 16 hectares of vineyard for ten years. Bianka is Hungarian, Daniel is German. They met in 2012 when she was a cellarman in his family's cellar. Together they have taken over the company and are producing excellent natural wines with no additions. The teachings of Patrick Meyer, legendary Alsatian vigneron, were fundamental, which allowed to metabolize and practice serious biodynamics (Demeter certified since 2012, together with only 80 other German wineries). The common denominator of the wines is a continuous experimentation flanked by minimal manipulations and bottling without filtration and very low doses of sulfur added only when necessary. To do the rest, Rheinhessen: Germany's largest wine region is usually associated with mass production but in recent years the region's reputation has started to change thanks to a new generation of talented young winemakers working organically in the vineyard , reducing harvests and enhancing the excellent and underrated terroir they possess. The vineyards are spread over various plots in Flörsheim-Dalsheim, Monsheim and Kriegsheim.
