VINIFICATION:
This sparkling wine, made in the traditional Cremant style, is made entirely from Riesling grapes grown in Chateau Frank's vineyards. The Riesling is pressed whole-cluster in membrane presses thereby extracting a minimum of phenolics. Following the Cremant method, the Celebre is aged "sur lies" after the estate tirage. Finally, the Celebre is riddled by hand or gyropalette prior to disgorging.
DESCRIPTION:
This delicious, fruity Cremant style sparkling wine is a very inviting, easy-to-drink sparkling wine. Apple, honey and spicy aromas on a solid acidic backbone gives this wine a great balance and fruity forwardness.
