Weingut Jakob Jung Sekt Brut Nature 2016

Jakob Jung stands for the tipicity of Rheingau Rieslings - light, racy, playful with will-integrated, fine acidity. The winery has been a family property since 1799, in the middle of the Rheingau, in the middle of Erbach, and stands for accessible, quality wines with complexity without being tiresome

The early family generations have not only been cultivating wine, but also other groceries. This changed, when Ludwig Jung took over in 1969, who transformed the mixed-food business into a sole winery. Today, it is run by Alexander Johannes Jung.

The vineyards cover ten hectares of vineyards in the single vineyard sites Hohenrain, Marcobrunn, Michelmark, Siegelsberg and Steinmorgen (Erbach), as well as Sandgrub (Kiedrich). They are planted with the varieties Riesling (82%), Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Gewürztraminer. The vineyards are cultivated in a natural way with permanent cover crop, no herbicides and minimised plant protection, and winemaking is typically done with long lees contact for their Rieslings

Grape Varietals & Region: A blend of Pinot Noir & Pinot Blanc from Rheingau, Germany. Grown on typical Erbach loess clay soils.

Taste Profile: The wine develops a very fine perlage and an intense aroma and texture thanks to the long lees aging

Winemaking Process: After a cooled fermentation of Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc, the cuvée was blended after about 6 months, and bottled for the second fermentation. After 78 months of yeast storage
the bottles were disgorged.
