ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
Steinbach, a mythical place for pinot noir production, is nicknamed the
Steinbacher RÙta, which means Red of Steinbach. Those vines have a limited
yield and produce, indeed, fruity and compelling nectar. The church and the
chapel of the village are dedicated to St Morand, the patron saint of winemakers
since the 11th century. The legend says that one day Morand was greeting some
guests while having an empty barrel. After making a cross sign, the barrel filled
up itself without ever getting empty again!
Clear; elegant salmon pink appearance with an abundant and dynamic bubbles.
Fruity on the nose, especially red fruits such as cherry and black currants. The
palate is refreshing and creamy with fruity aromas such as strawberries and
lemon. A clean and long lasting finish.
