MonRose Raumland Grand Cuvée Sekt Extra Brut
Raumland MonRose Grande Cuvée Extra Brut 2012 is a sparkling wine masterpiece from Sekt master Volker Raumland and a great tribute to his wife Heide-Rose. Packaged in a beautiful Raumland wooden box, the MonRose 2012 vintage Sekt is a high-quality gift.
2012 was an outstanding Sekt year: Sekthaus Raumland allowed the Sekt from this vintage a decade to fully develop its potential. The MonRose is a grand vintage Sekt that is only cuvéetied in special years and uniquely represents the characteristics and qualitative peak of its vintage, while also demonstrating the great passion, craftsmanship, and uncompromising nature of the Sekt manufacturer from Flörsheim-Dalsheim.
When blending the 2012 Sekt base wines, the Raumlands were so impressed by the Pinot Noir parcels from Dalsheimer Bürgel that they decided to present the MonRose 2012 exclusively with a single grape variety – Pinot Noir.
Volker Raumland describes his Sekt as follows: "On the palate, powerful and long-lasting notes of apricot and red currant unfold. Due to the generous aging of the base wines in wooden barrels, the Sekt shows spicy notes that give it structure. The fine mousse underlines the elegance of the Sekt. This Sekt has a long finish and aftertaste." What a beautiful declaration of love to his wife.
Raumland – Sekt Production
The beginning of the 2012 Sekt year was bitterly cold and very dry until April. The long-awaited rainfall only came during flowering. The summer shone with sufficient rain and perfect temperatures for the grapes to ripen. During the harvest in September 2012, small, thick-skinned but healthy berries were hand-picked in excellent weather.
The Raumland MonRose Grand Cuvée is a complex sparkling wine made from pure Pinot Noir with the finest perlage. It delights with elegance and harmony, is full-bodied and powerful with good structure, crisp acidity, and great length. MonRose is characterized by marl soils, wonderfully reflecting the chalky minerality and possessing tremendous depth. The tirage bottling on July 29, 2013, initiated the second fermentation as a traditional bottle fermentation. The Raumland family allowed this vintage Sekt 128 months and disgorged it on April 25, 2024. Take your time and leisure for this special pleasure.
