From the winemaker:

Fritz Müller Royal

„The champagne among Fritzes.”
Complex, elegant, vivaciously sparkling.
The "Royal Fritz" owes its name to the royal care that it has received: Winemaker Jürgen Hofmann selected the very best, sun-pampered Chardonnay grapes in the fall of 2010. From these, around 238 gallons (900 liters) of spontaneously fermented base wine were crafted, which was then allowed to rest on its yeast for 17 peaceful months. Turned by hand during the bottle fermentation, the Dégorgement took place in December of 2012.
A classic to be enjoyed in an elegant champagne glass at 46-50°F (8-10°C).

Description:
Gleaming straw yellow revealing golden highlights. Aromas of white flowers, citrus fruit, acacia honey and fresh brioche. Balanced on the palate with a pleasantly disconcerting structure and delicate salinity. Finely-pearled, creamy mousseaux, with a long and fresh finish.
total acidity: 6,8 g/l
residual sugar: 11,0 g/l
alcohol: 12 %vol.

Two words: Elegance and finesse.

Like a tennis player performing the perfect slice instead of going for the smash. Like a heavyweight fighter dancing around, jabbing a thousand times, even though he could go for the KO any time.

For us good wine making comes down to two simple words: elegance and finesse.In this case it means not pumping the wine till it almost bursts just because you can, but to balance it perfectly. The acidity is there. The power is there. The spice is there. The fruit is there.

So, thank you Jürgen Krebs! This wine didn't only go perfect with tonights bbq, this cool grown grape juice also matched the summer evening like a match made in heaven. — 9 years ago
