Notes from the Producer: The production of Sekt (sparkling wine) begins in the vineyard. Every year during pruning, the most suitable parcels of a site are selected specifically for the purpose of producing Sekt acccording to the traditional method. The grapes are cared for throughout the growing season just as they would be in Champagne. Then they are harvested by hand and their juice is gently extracted through whole cluster pressing to produce a top-quality sparkling wine. The secondary fermentation is done using must rather than added sugar. Only in absolutely optimal years do we use our grapes for Sekt production. A young sparkling wine is aged at least four years on the lees before being released in small batches for final production. This ensures optimal freshness. Some 20% of the base wines are fermented and matured in barrique casks, which lends the finished Sekt a creamy, spicy character.
Classic méthode champenoise and classic Pinot Meunier grapes. Our Blanc de Noir has a lot in common with French Champagne. The only difference lies in its origin: selected parcels of Weingut Heitinger, which gives the Sekt a distinctive, soft fruity note. On the nose, aromas of brioche, black currant, and yeast; on the palate, full-bodied and creamy, with a fine, tingling effervescence.
