WINE DESCRIPTION
Barth Ultra is owned by Christine and Mark Barth for are pioneers of single-vineyard Riesling and Champagne varieties to produce German sparkling wine also known as Sekt. The Barth own vineyards are eco-certified. The base wine, a Pinot Noir Blanc de Noir is prepared with traditional bottle fermentation, this Brut Nature lies on lees for 72 months before it is riddled by hand, disgorged, a process that it not followed with dosage. This long lees maturation gives it fullness, a fine yeasty flavor, and phenolic contours. It was matured in large oak barrels to give it additional richness and weight.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Barth Ultra is an exquisite wine that shimmers with a golden hue.On the nose, delicate aromas of toasted brioche and freshly baked pastry mingle with hints of honeyed raspberries and lemon zest. With each sip, the palate is enveloped in a luxurious tapestry of flavors: rich caramelized red apples, subtle notes of hazelnut, and a touch of wildflower honey, all balanced by a crisp acidity that keeps the palate refreshed. The extended aging on lees lends a creamy texture and a profound depth, while the fine, persistent bubbles dance gracefully, carrying the flavors to a long, lingering finish.
