Raumland Sekt – Pinot Blanc de Noirs – Réserve Brut
The Raumland Sekt Pinot Blanc de Noirs 2013 Réserve Brut is a dry, white-pressed sparkling wine made from red grapes, in this case 100% Pinot Noir grapes.
The Raumland Réserve Sekts are characterized by and benefit from their long lees aging of at least 90 months. During this time, unmistakable aromas of biscuit and brioche notes, nut butter, and roasted almonds develop. The Raumland Sekt Pinot Blanc de Noirs 2013 enchants with its scent of Moroccan mint and tangerine zest, its particularly fine perlage, which provides a soft mouthfeel, and a profound body with a long finish.
The current 2013 vintage spent 96 months on the lees. The Raumland Pinot Sekt is a very complex sparkling wine, full-bodied and powerful with good structure, crisp acidity, and great length. It is shaped by the cool, low-sun vintage of 2013, by its location protected by the Donnersberg mountain, which shielded the grapes from heavy rainfall, and a golden September with late grape ripening.
With its complexity, depth, and character, this special Pinot Sekt is a good companion to Mediterranean meat dishes and bliss-inducing pasta dishes.

Sekthaus Raumland – Sekt on par with Champagne
Sekthaus Raumland from Flörsheim Dalsheim in Rheinhessen produces premium German Sekt that can stand up to international comparison.
Volker Raumland produces Sekt using traditional bottle fermentation, exclusively from his own hand-picked grapes, with a focus on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, from organically cultivated vineyards. The Pinot Noir grapes for this single-vineyard Sekt grow on almost 30-year-old vines in Rheinhessen with Terra Fusca soils. On October 8, 2013, the Pinot grapes were hand-harvested.
Gentle whole-cluster pressing, aging of the base wines in stainless steel, malolactic fermentation, secondary fermentation in the bottle, and long lees aging are prerequisites for this quality, a complex aroma spectrum, and the special fine effervescence of his Sekts.
"Good taste is not objective – it is not measurable. It has taken many years of patience and countless attempts to slowly approach the grand goal: to achieve the optimum from the variety of our grape varieties, traditional methods, and the possibilities available today. That is our vision, which challenges us anew every day," says Germany's best Sekt maker, Volker Raumland.
