Vinification of the Blanc de Blancs brut from Weingut Metzger The foundation of the exceptional quality of the Blanc de Blancs brut from Weingut Metzger lies in the careful cultivation of the Chardonnay grapes. The winery employs controlled and sustainable viticulture practices to ensure optimal grape ripeness. The vines grow in calcareous clay soils, providing ideal mineralization and imparting the wine's characteristic mineral notes. Harvesting takes place early in the morning to preserve the freshness of the grapes. The grapes are handpicked to select only the best fruit. Vinification begins immediately after harvest with gentle pressing, during which the juice is carefully clarified and no skin elements enter the wine. Fermentation occurs at controlled temperatures in neutral stainless steel tanks. During this phase, delicate fruit aromas develop alongside lively acidity. The aging process mainly takes place on the full lees in traditional bottle fermentation, lasting at least 15 months. During this maturation, the fine perlage is created, making this sparkling wine so irresistible. Disgorging, the removal of the yeast sediment, is carried out carefully to maintain the purity and clarity of the wine. The result is a harmonious, lively sparkling wine with multi-layered aromatics and a finely balanced acidity, making it a true highlight in the world of sparkling wines.
