Burgundy sparkling wine 2008
Tasting notes from the Steininger family
2008 was a very difficult year in the Kamptal. Especially in challenging years, the wines are characterized by very strong, precise selection and work in the cellar. Wonderful fragrance notes, acacia blossom in the fragrance. On the palate a mix of beautiful flower extracts, appears dry – almost puristic. A sparkling wine not exactly for beginners, but probably a highlight for lovers of other sparkling wines.

Tasting notes by Thomas Werani
Floral notes; incredibly spicy, combines power with subtlety; great acid structure, finishes vibrant, wine that has become sparkling wine.

Wine year 2008
The rather early budding and the uncomplicated flowering period in June were positive, while unusually early hailstorms caused the first setbacks. The moisture remained throughout the entire vegetation period, which led to a corresponding disease pressure, especially “downy mildew”. Sugar ripening in the grapes also progressed slowly due to the cool, damp weather in September and October, although some very fine days in the second half of October and the first half of November ensured pleasant harvest conditions.
