In the tradition of my home estate in Germany, we offer this sparkling Pinot Noir as a celebration of the intense yet delicate flavors the Pinot Noir grape has to offer. During my childhood, my father selected casks of his finest Pinot Noir to make into sparkling wine (“Spätburgunder Sekt”), choosing only the wines showing true varietal character. Our own “Rouge de Noirs” is handcrafted using traditional European methods of bottle fermentation and careful riddling. delicate and dry like a fine blanc de Noirs yet uniquely different, it has a richness, intensity of flavor and brilliant red color rarely found in a sparkling wine. “Rouge de Noirs” embodies the true essence of Pinot Noir – a wine we produce “for the love of it!” ~ Walter Schug, Winemaster
