Rosé Pure x Redcurrant

Rosé Pure x Currant – Wine meets Juice – Seckinger x von Wiesen

Von Wiesen x Seckinger Rosé Pure x Currant Ancestral is a collaboration between the Seckinger winery and Niko Brandner's von Wiesen project: rosé wine flavored with currants.

Rosé Pure X Currant Ancestral is a flavored wine-based drink. For this, the Seckinger brothers from the winery in the Pfalz and Niko Brandner teamed up. The Seckingers contributed 90% of their pure line rosé wine and Niko Brandner 10% spontaneously fermented red currant juice. This Cuvée was created as an Ancestral with a second fermentation in the bottle on the lees, which contributed the natural carbonation to this collaboration.

The von Wiesen x Seckinger is brilliant raspberry red in color and slightly cloudy, due to the remaining yeast in the bottle. It smells of a basket full of berries, with the currant taking precedence. The minimally sulfured, unfiltered, and unfined Rosé Pure x Currant Ancestral boasts fine-pearly bubbles.

On the palate, it is wonderfully dry and immensely fruity, and with 10.5% vol alcohol, it is an invigorating aperitif and a good accompaniment, for example, to summer salads, grilled poultry, or meat.

von Wiesen – Niko Brandner's new project

That Niko Brandner can make sparkling wine is undisputed; for several years, he has been among Germany's top sparkling winemakers. The quantities produced by Griesel Sekt are never enough to meet the high demand. But if you want to stay true to your quality promise, you simply cannot just increase production volume. The sparkling wines mature for at least three years before they are released, and there is always a corresponding time lag.

So why not try sparkling wine from a different base ingredient? With a clear taste goal in mind, Niko experimented with apples and quinces from the region with as much care as he usually applies to grapes for sparkling wine. Thus, the von Wiesen apples ferment spontaneously in old and new barrique barrels with the help of the naturally occurring yeast flora, just like the base wines in sparkling wine production. Please open the Seckinger x von Wiesen carefully, as the pressure in the bottle varies.
