Frank John - das Hirnhorner Weinkontor Riesling Brut 36 2019 - Sparkling wine

Frank John wines shine brightly in the German wine sky and are characterized by the highest quality in the vineyard as well as in the cellar. So it makes sense that they have committed themselves to biodynamics in their vineyards. The VDP winery is known for its excellent sparkling wines and the Riesling Brut 36 is an eloquent example of Frank John's uncompromising quality philosophy.

The grapes for this sparkling wine come from old Riesling vineyards and are matured using whole cluster pressing and long maturation in Palatinate barrels. The base wines are sparkled using the classic traditional method with at least 36 months of yeast storage, which gives the sparkling wine its delicate Riesling aromas. The hand-shaken and disgorged bottles are given a minimal dosage to balance the elegant, well-integrated Riesling acidity. Thanks to this classic ageing method, our sparkling wines always have a fine perlage that perfectly underlines the nuanced minerality.

The Riesling Brut 36 is of course a wonderful aperitif, but two noses for wine think of accompanying a ragout fin or a corn-fed chicken with buttered vegetables and a cream and mustard sauce.
