Production of Sekt Pinot / Chardonnay Brut - Martin Waßmer

The grapes for the Sekt Pinot / Chardonnay Brut - Martin Waßmer come from selected sites in the Baden wine-growing region. The climate is warm and rich in sunshine, while cool nights ensure pronounced aromatic development and fresh acidity. The Upper Rhine Graben shapes the region with a mixture of loess, limestone, and partially gravelly soils. This combination gives the grapes ripeness, minerality, and expressive character.

Chardonnay thrives here on calcareous parcels with particular elegance. The vines root deeply and produce grapes with fine acidity and clear fruit. Pinot Noir comes from carefully tended Pinot sites, where ripening progresses slowly and evenly. This creates a base with aromatic depth and subtle spice, ideal for high-quality sparkling wines.

The grapes are selectively harvested with a strong focus on quality. They reach the cellar quickly and gently in order to preserve their freshness and aromas fully. Pressing is carried out with care, and only the finest must becomes part of the cuvée. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are initially vinified separately to bring out the individual characteristics of each variety with precision.

The cuvée is then assembled, placing the house style clearly at the forefront. Chardonnay provides backbone, freshness, and finesse, while Pinot Noir contributes subtle structure and volume. After tirage, the sparkling wine matures traditionally on the lees, allowing brioche and yeasty notes to develop while making the bead feel finer.

During lees aging, the creamy mouthfeel characteristic of Martin Waßmer’s style develops. Yeast autolysis creates notes of brioche and delicate pastry, while the sparkling wine gains density and complexity. After disgorgement, a measured dosage rounds out the flavor, emphasizing the brut style and preserving its dry character.

The winemaker’s style places great emphasis on clarity, precision, and a sense of place. Every step in the cellar is aimed at bringing the freshness, elegance, and expression of Baden into the bottle. The result is a distinctive sparkling wine that performs equally well as an aperitif or accompaniment to food.
