{"product_id":"albert-mann-cremant-dalsace-extra-brut-2022","title":"Albert Mann Crémant d'Alsace Extra Brut 2022","description":"\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDomaine Albert Mann is one of Alsace's leading family estates, based in Wettolsheim and managed by the Barthelmé family. Formed through the union of the Mann and Barthelmé winegrowing families, the domaine has practised biodynamic viticulture since 1997 and is Demeter certified, with holdings in several of Alsace's most distinguished Grand Cru vineyards. The 2022 Crémant is produced from approximately thirty-year-old vines around Wettolsheim and Kientzheim, planted on clay-limestone, sandy and gravelly soils. The blend comprises predominantly Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois, with smaller proportions of Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir. The grapes were harvested by hand and fermented in tank before undergoing secondary fermentation in bottle using the traditional method. Malolactic fermentation was avoided to preserve acidity, and the wine spent a minimum of eighteen months ageing on lees before disgorgement. The warm, early 2022 vintage produced a wine of considerable fruit concentration, with aromas of ripe apple, mirabelle plum, white peach and citrus peel, accompanied by toasted brioche and delicate floral notes. Fine, persistent bubbles introduce a creamy, finely structured palate, with lively acidity, subtle autolytic complexity and a long, refreshing finish. Its restrained Extra Brut dosage allows the fruit and savoury characteristics to remain particularly clear.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cardwell Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67905500807482,"sku":null,"price":78.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6022\/0218\/files\/Mann_Alsace_Cremant_Cardwell_Cellars.png?v=1793926650","url":"https:\/\/cardwellcellars.com\/products\/albert-mann-cremant-dalsace-extra-brut-2022","provider":"Cardwell Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
