Description
This lightly sparkling Rosé is made entirely from Pinot Noir. It's actually the only red grape variety found in Alsace, as France is primarily suited to white wines. The vineyards of Fernand Engel winery are located in Rorschwihr at the foot of the Grasberg. The wine is grown entirely organically here, but above all, with a great deal of love. The result is, among other things, this Brut Rosé with fresh aromas and a fruity flavor.
Fernand Engel's diverse vineyards
The Fernand Engel wine estate boasts a remarkable 62 hectares of vineyards, spread like a patchwork across the surrounding villages around Rorschwihr. Each plot has its own unique soil structure, microclimate, and unique location – the perfect ingredients for unique wines. Today, four generations work together in the business. Fernand, the grandfather, founded the estate and inspired his children and grandchildren to become passionate about winemaking. Together, they work hard to produce Fernand Engel's high-quality wines. The Pinot Noir grapes are grown on marl-limstone soil. This soil is highly drought-resistant, making it ideal for wine production. At peak ripeness, the grapes are harvested and taken almost immediately to the winery. A rigorous selection process follows, as only the finest grapes are good enough. After a brief maceration and pressing, fermentation begins at a controlled temperature. Finally, the wine is left to rest for several months before being bottled.The aroma and taste of Fernand Engel Cremant d Alsace Brut Rose
A beautiful, intense pink color with fine bubbles. The aroma reveals fresh aromas of red fruit. These aromas are also evident in the taste, with raspberry and strawberry filling the mouth. A wonderfully full-bodied wine with a pleasant acidity that beautifully balances everything. Ideal as an aperitif, but thanks to its beautiful structure, this Rosé also pairs well with various meat appetizers or Asian cuisine.Product details
