Classic, stylish, an all-rounder! Fruity, sparkling, fresh Riesling sparkling wine with a delicate melt.

Balthasar Ress sparkling wines are all made using the traditional bottle fermentation process, as is the case with champagne. The base wine is filled into the bottle together with the tirage, a mixture of yeast and sugar, and sealed tightly. The yeast then begins to react with the sugar and a second fermentation takes place in the bottle. This creates carbonic acid, which cannot escape due to the tight closure. After 15 months of aging on the yeast, the bottle is gradually tilted further so that the yeast settles in the neck of the bottle. The yeast plug is then frozen and the bottle opened. Due to the pressure in the bottle, the yeast shoots out of the bottle and a clear sparkling wine remains, which is refilled with the dosage. The dosage ultimately determines the sugar content and the final taste of the sparkling wine.
