Introduction:
This NV Fitz-Ritter Weisser Burgunder Brut is a delicate German sparkling wine made from Pinot Blanc (Weißburgunder). It seeks to balance freshness, fine bubbles, and varietal purity, offering a lighter Sekt style for approachable enjoyment.

Terroir:
Produced in Pfalz (Palatinate) region, the estate benefits from calcareous loam and limestone soils, warm days and cooling nights, and a favorable microclimate for white varietals. Fitz-Ritter farms sustainably, and their vineyards are managed with care to express regional finesse and clarity.

Tasting notes:
The Weingut Fitz-Ritter Weisser Burgunder Brut has expressive aromas of yellow apple, white peach, brioche, lemon zest, anise, and subtle herbal undertones. The palate is crisp and lively, with flavors of yellow apple, grapefruit, and brioche. The wine maintains a tight core of fruit and freshness, with delicate structure. The finish is
balanced and tangy, with lime zest, toast, and a clean mineral edge. 

Food Pairing Suggestions:

• Meat/fish: Oily fish like smoked trout or a light shellfish preparation

• Vegetarian option: Asparagus salad with lemon vinaigrette or fresh goat cheese crostini

• Cheese pairing: Soft cheeses like Brie, Camembert or a creamy goat cheese to match the wine’s freshness and brioche character

Overall Impression:
This NV Fitz-Ritter Weisser Burgunder Brut is an elegant and finely poised German Sekt. Its crisp apple and citrus flavors, delicate brioche character, and lively mineral finish make it a refreshing sparkling for aperitif moments or light seafood pairings. It offers impressive finesse for a non-vintage sparkling from Pfalz.
