Production of SCHÄUMLI alcohol-free - Ellermann-Spiegel

The grapes for SCHÄUMLI alcohol-free - Ellermann-Spiegel come from selected parcels in the Palatinate. The climate here is warm and sunny, with mild winters and long growing seasons. These conditions allow for optimal ripeness of the aromatic grape varieties Muscat and Scheurebe. The soils consist predominantly of loess, sand and calcareous structures. This mix gives the wines body, freshness and fine minerality.

Harvesting is selective; only grapes with perfect physiological ripeness make it to the press. Gentle processing preserves the delicate aromatic potential of these fragrant varieties. After pressing, the must runs off clear and undergoes controlled fermentation at moderate temperatures. This preserves the intense fruit aromas of pineapple, mango, peach and citrus in a remarkably pure way.

For the alcohol-free version, the characteristic taste of the grape varieties is retained. A modern, gentle process removes the alcohol from the finished wine while largely preserving its aromatics. This approach gives the sparkling wine its authentic varietal character at 0.0% vol. alcohol. This is followed by the sparkling process, during which the fine perlage is created that makes the wine appear so lively and stimulating.

Maturation takes place predominantly in stainless steel tanks. This approach emphasizes freshness and fruit without any wood influence. Temperature control in the cellar ensures slow, controlled maturation and preserves the varietal aromas. Before bottling, the sparkling wine rests on the fine lees, which gives it additional creaminess and an elegant mouthfeel.

The style of the Ellermann-Spiegel winery is clear: maximum fruit, drinking pleasure and precision. The winemaker focuses on an authentic representation of the Palatinate origin, paired with a contemporary, uncomplicated interpretation. The result is an alcohol-free sparkling wine that offers enjoyment at a high level and accompanies many classic sparkling wine moments.

After opening, it is recommended to store the bottle in the refrigerator with a special sparkling wine stopper so that the perlage and fruit aromas remain present for a long time.
