LILIUM MÜLLER THURGAU SPUMANTE BRUT

GRAPE VARIETY
The basic cuvée for Lilium is made exclusively from Müller Thurgau grapes. It is an aromatic and delicate variety and its characteristics become more pronounced due to the considerable differences between day and night-time temperatures during ripening.

WINEMAKING AND SECOND FERMENTATION
The grapes are hand-picked and vinified using typical white wine making methods, i.e., fermentation without the skins. The new wine is subsequently refermented in stainless steel pressure tanks to trap the escaping carbon dioxide and keep it in the wine, thereby rendering it sparkling. This is known as “Charmat” method; once dry, the wine is kept on the fine lees for around 30 days and subsequently bottled at low temperature to retain its natural sparkle.

DESCRIPTION
Fine perlage, fruity and floral on the nose, with an aroma reminiscent of rose, peach and sage. Delicate and appealing on the palate with medium length.

PAIRING
This is a wine very appealing to modern taste, being elegant with moderate alcohol. It is perfect for social drinking, as an aperitif and goes well with appetizers.
