Der Blauwal is our classic method reserve. A single vineyard, a single vintage and a single grape variety. Time is a precious commodity: it takes at least 84 months on the lees to transfer the complex history of the vintage, the identity of the vineyard and the characteristics of the variety into the wine. It is an extra brut with a dosage of about 3 g/l. The enveloping taste and structure are merited by the quality of the grapes from old vines and the ripeness of the fruit. To prevent this complexity from being diluted in any way, the final topping up, which follows disgorging, is done with the same wine as the start. IN BRIEF
