Production of Spring Edition Rosé Brut by Schlumberger Sektkellerei

The grapes for the Spring Edition Rosé Brut - Schlumberger Sektkellerei come from selected vineyards in Lower Austria. The climate is characterized by warm days and cool nights, which benefit the development of intense fruit aromas and lively acidity. The soils range from sandy and gravelly terraces to limestone sites, lending the cuvée a delicate mineral note.

The grapes are generally harvested selectively and gently, ensuring that only fully ripe, aromatic grapes reach the cellar. After harvesting, careful pressing takes place, with only the finest portion of the must being used for this rosé sparkling wine. The gentle pressing of the red grapes creates the delicate salmon color and preserves the finely nuanced fruit aromas. Fermentation then takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, preserving the wine’s fresh berry fruit and clarity.

Schlumberger Sektkellerei places the utmost care on the production of this sparkling wine. The second fermentation gives the Sekt its fine bubbles and provides complexity and structure. Depending on the style, the wine matures on the lees for a certain period, encouraging a subtle brioche note and creaminess on the palate. The dosage is deliberately kept moderate in the brut range so that the cuvée’s natural freshness and precise fruit remain at the forefront.

The Schlumberger house style is based on elegance, clarity, and fine bubbles. Care in the vineyard and cellar, precise work in blending, and a sure sense of balance shape the character of this rosé sparkling wine. The result is a sparkling wine that combines lightness and sophistication, reflecting spring in the glass.
