German champagne
German champagne is prepared in the method of ‘bottle fermentation’ similar to the traditional method of French Champagne and matured for at least 9 to 12 months.
Usually it is a Cuvée (a mixture of grapes from different vineyards) that consists of selected fruits. The most famous grapes that are typical to Germany are Riesling, Grauburgunder or Silvaner, which we introduce in our first selection for the Asian market as it is exactly what makes German champagne versatile in taste and simply unique.
We recommend drinking German champagne at a temperature of 8°C.

Its golden yellow color and subtle nutty and spicy flavors dominate this extraordinary German champagne. Its mousseux is kind of delicate, but has at the same time an ample body which ends creamy toffee. It is superb in its finesse and elegance. |
