Description

There’s something romantic about this sparkling blend of Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc from the Obermosel, soulful even. Grown on steep, biodynamically farmed limestone soils, the delicate floral aromas conjure the ease of summer, while flavors of ripe Asian pear and yellow apple, explode across the palate on a wave of freshness and precision. This is an ethereal, filigreed bubbly that proves why sixth-generation vigneron Stephen Steinmetz is a force to be reckoned with among today's winemakers

Stephan Steinmetz

Stephan Steinmetz describes himself as a "thick head with charm." Since 1992, he has carried on the legacy of his winemaking ancestors with knowledge, passion, and plenty of stubbornness. He focused on sustainable winemaking in one of the world’s most difficult terroirs—the steep Obermosel, which lies south of the Saar river near the border of Luxembourg. He uses traditional hand-harvesting methods and relies on traditional handicraft in the cellar, using almost no machinery. The result are fresh and flavorful wines that have impressed critics and consumers alike.
