About the winery Alsace today is particularly versatile and progressive. With countless different terroirs, the royal variety Riesling and a pioneering role in organic viticulture, Alsace is now a very exciting wine region. The slightly sweet style of the past is on its way out: more and more winemakers are making completely dry wines that give a purer expression of the grape varieties. This also applies to Fernand Engel, where very modern wines are made. Engel's wines can absolutely compete with the best wineries from the Haut-Rhin. Vineyard and region Sourced from vineyards near Rorschwihr, near Colmar in Alsace. The soils consist of red marl and limestone, which can withstand drought well. Vinification The Crémant d'Alsace is made according to the same method as Champagne; the method traditionnelle. The wine undergoes a second fermentation and maturation of 18 months, which gives the wine a refined bubble. At the beginning of the process, the juice remains in brief contact with the skins, which gives the wine its pink color. Color Soft pink. Fragrance Raspberries, strawberries and cherries. Brioche and biscuit. Taste Friendly and lively rosé with a very delicate mousse. Serve at Lekker with a clafoutis with cherries.
