Weißburgunder Extra Brut - Geldermann Sekt

The Pinot Blanc Extra Brut - Geldermann Sekt displays a clear, pale golden hue in the glass with a fine, persistent perlage. Delicate reflections are reminiscent of freshly harvested straw, while the lively bubbles lend this sparkling wine an elegant appearance. As soon as it is poured, aromas of juicy peaches, fresh citrus zest and a hint of toasted almond rise from the glass.

On the nose, it reveals a multifaceted interplay of aromas: ripe vineyard peaches meet delicate lemon and lime notes, accompanied by a subtle almond nuance reminiscent of fresh sponge cake and delicate nuttiness. A cool, precise fruit character is inviting and leaves a lively impression.

On the palate, this Extra Brut from Baden is clear, straightforward and refreshing. The texture is crisp, while the perlage is fine yet powerful. Fresh citrus aromas, juicy peach and a hint of green apple combine with an elegant nutty note. The style remains dry, precise and invigorating, carried by a lively acid structure that creates tension without ever seeming harsh.

The tannins are barely perceptible in this single-varietal Pinot Blanc sparkling wine, while its clear structure is particularly convincing. The acidity is perfectly integrated and carries the long, mineral-like finish. With approximately 7.5 g/l of total acidity and around 6 g/l of residual sugar, the Pinot Blanc Extra Brut - Geldermann Sekt presents itself as taut, dry and harmonious at the same time.

The Pinot Blanc grape variety reveals all its charm here: elegant fruit, delicate nutty aromas and a subtle creaminess in the background. The grapes come from the sun-kissed Baden region in southern Germany, whose warm days and cool nights give the grapes impressive freshness and clarity. Its origin in the traditional sparkling-wine region of Baden is reflected in its expressive yet refined style.

Production of Pinot Blanc Extra Brut – Geldermann Sekt

The grapes for the Pinot Blanc Extra Brut - Geldermann Sekt come from select vineyards in Baden, one of Germany’s warmest regions. The climate is rich in sunshine, with sufficiently cool nights that allow the grapes to develop impressive aromas. The soils range from calcareous sites to loess-rich terraces, lending the style delicate minerality and elegance.

The time of harvest plays a decisive role, as only grapes with the perfect balance of freshness and ripeness are brought into the cellar. The harvest is carried out selectively, using only sound, fully ripe grapes. This creates the foundation for this precise and characterful sparkling wine right in the vineyard.

In the cellar, the Pinot Blanc grapes are gently pressed to obtain only the finest must from the centre of the bunches. Temperature-controlled fermentation preserves the fruity aromas of peach and citrus and lays the foundation for the later elegance in the glass. The base wine then matures on the fine lees, giving it structure and depth.

For the Pinot Blanc Extra Brut - Geldermann Sekt, the focus is on a classically inspired vinification that emphasises purity and clarity. Extended ageing on the lees in the bottle lends the perlage its finesse and creates subtle brioche and almond notes in the background. During this maturation period, the sparkling wine develops its harmonious character and gains complexity.

The Geldermann house style is founded on tradition, precision and elegance. Every step, from grape selection to disgorgement, follows a clear commitment to quality. The aim is to create a sparkling wine that combines freshness, finesse and the expression of the Pinot Blanc grape variety while also reflecting its Baden origin.
