Wijndomein Valke Vleug Brut 2020

Belgium|Scheldeland

In Valke Vleug's second sparkling wine, a small percentage of Pinot Noir and Meunier has been added to give the base wine a firmer backbone. A long period "sur lattes" and a low dosage of just 2g/l create a gastronomic and vinous sparkling wine. The mouth-filling mousse is exceptionally fine, with the dosage beautifully integrated. On the nose, notes of brioche and almond harmonize with citrus and ripe apple. The palate is elegant, and the long finish brims with freshness. With only 2,200 bottles produced, this sparkling wine is exceptionally limited.

The Chardonnay grapes are manually harvested and whole-cluster pressed, with separate vinification of the cuvée and taille.
