A vintage Pinot Noir Brut Rosé that rivals Champagne
This vintage, single-village sparkling Pinot Noir from Germany’s Rheingau delivers the exact same yeast-accented complexity and bright red fruit as top-tier French Rosé Champagne, but at a fraction of the cost. Sourced from the prestigious slopes of Rüdesheim, this 2019 Brut Rosé is an absolute masterclass in elegance from Johannes Leitz, a winemaker globally renowned for his meticulous, terroir-driven approach.
While Leitz is most famous for his world-class Rieslings, his Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder) program is spectacular. For this 2019 Brut Rosé, he treats the Pinot Noir grapes with immense care, ensuring they retain their brilliant natural acidity and delicate, juicy red fruit profile. The result is a vibrant, deeply refreshing sparkling wine with serious pedigree. It possesses a beautiful texture that seduces upon the first sip, perfectly balancing vibrant tanginess with a subtle, savory yeast complexity.
If you love high-end sparkling rosés but are suffering from Champagne fatigue (or Champagne prices), this is the perfect pivot. It is an absolute crowd-pleaser that punches wildly above its weight class.
