Description
What kind of wine it is
The Crémant d'Alsace Riesling Brut from Domaine de la Ville de Colmar is an elegant Traditional Method sparkling wine made exclusively from Riesling grapes. It shows a pale straw yellow color and a fine perlage. It is a sparkling wine with an intense yet delicate character that highlights the fresh, mineral, and vibrant side of Alsace.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from Alsatian vineyards located between Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin, in Alsace. From this area comes the typical mineral tension of Alsatian Riesling, which gives the wine aromatic precision and a well-defined balance on the palate.
How it's made
After harvest, the grapes undergo a white-winemaking process, with a first fermentation in stainless steel. This is followed by a second fermentation in bottle using the Traditional Method, with at least 15 months on the lees before disgorgement.
Tasting notes
On the nose it is fresh and fruity, with notes of citrus, fresh lemon and subtle mineral nuances, accompanied by delicate hints of honey and hazelnut. On the palate it is lively, elegant and harmonious, with marked freshness supported by a pleasant acidity. The sip is dynamic and refined, with a long, citrusy, mineral finish that adds depth and great drinkability.
Food pairings
It pairs well with shellfish, seafood, oysters and fish dishes. Thanks to its freshness and mineral component, it also accompanies sushi, delicate Asian cuisine and light appetizers with elegance. It also pairs well with fruit tarts and fresh fruit salad.
When to serve it
It's ideal as an aperitif and for seafood dinners when you're looking for a fresh, mineral-driven sparkling wine. A flute or a tulip-shaped glass enhances its perlage and aromas. It's also suitable for toasts and light meals.
