The BRUT by STEIL Blanc de Noirs brut nature from solveigs comes from the steep vineyards around Assmannshausen in the Rheingau, where red phyllite slate and extreme slopes form the basis for precise Pinot Noir wines. The grapes are deliberately harvested earlier to preserve freshness, tension, and a clear acid structure – ideal conditions for a terroir-driven sparkling wine.
On the nose, the Blanc de Noirs is delicate and complex, with aromas of apple, red berries, and apricot, accompanied by a subtle yeast note and mineral hints. On the palate, the sparkling wine is lean and invigorating, with fine mousse, clear fruit, and a cool, precise minerality. The style is refreshingly dry, with elegant lightness and a mineral finish.
Production follows the traditional method without dosage: After the first fermentation, the natural grape sugar ferments a second time in the bottle, forming the fine perlage – entirely without additives. The sparkling wine matures on its lees for about 18 months, which gives it structure and depth. This principle of minimal intervention expresses the origin and grape variety unadulterated.
A purist, terroir-driven Blanc de Noirs from the Rheingau: fresh, mineral, and precise – a characterful sparkling wine for Pinot connoisseurs.
