Kientzler Crémant d'Alsace NV

Kientzler Cremant d'Alsace is a traditional method sparkling wine led by Auxerrois, from one of the reference growers of Ribeauville.

The Kientzler estate is based at Ribeauville in the Haut-Rhin and is best known for its holdings in the grand crus Geisberg, Osterberg and Kirchberg de Ribeauville, worked with a precise, dry and long lived house style. Cremant d'Alsace must be made by the traditional method with second fermentation in bottle and at least nine months on lees, and Auxerrois is one of the most useful grapes for it, giving softness and a gentle citrus character at lower alcohol. Here Auxerrois makes up eighty percent of the blend, with ten percent each of Chardonnay for tension and Pinot Gris for weight, and the wine rests thirteen months on lees.

Dry, fine and gently creamy, it works as an apertif and with charcuterie, tarte flambee and lighter fish dishes; serve chilled at around 8 degrees.
