Kalkspitz Pet Nat 2015
A sparkling wine project was initiated in 2012 inspired by the Champagne region, which is also characterised by calcareous soils. It was never Christoph Hoch’s intention to make another “ordinary” Sparkling wine, but rather something completely unique. For Sparkling Project no non-wine additives were desired, so a finished base wine was supplemented with fermenting must similar to “Methóde traditionelle”, but without added yeast or sugar. The carbonation pressure is around 7 bar.

Flavour

It’s savory with a refreshing acidity and creaminess on the palate.

Pairing

It pairs well well with cheese, white meat, fish, and vegetables.

Vinification The Kalkspitz is a sparkling wine made in the Méthode ancestrale, also known as “Pétillant naturel” or “Pet Nat”. This is the most natural method of producing sparkling wine with the least intervention but lots of instinct from the winemaker. Here, the fermenting must, which still contains unfermented sugar is bottled and sealed with a crown cap. The moment of bottling is absolutely decisive, because the residual sugar content determines the level of carbonation as the fermentation process continues in the bottle. This wine will not be degorged will thus retain a slight cloudiness. Because lees and acidity will preserve the Kalkspitz, it is particularly suitable for storage.
