About
Brut Rosé Reserve is Bründlmayer's sparkling rosé, built on the estate's red varieties. The importer's back label gives this bottling as equal thirds Saint-Laurent, Zweigelt and Pinot Noir, from chalky parcels across the estate, mostly southeast-facing so the wine picks up warmth alongside the freshness. Picking runs from the first week of September into the second week of October, the grapes travel to the cellar in small cases, and only the heart of the must goes to the sparkling. The varietal base wines ferment separately and go through malolactic fermentation before the cuvée is assembled; the more powerful Zweigelt lots are diverted to the still rosé instead.
Built on the 2019 harvest, this lot went to tirage on 28 May 2020 (lot code L13045/05/20), was riddled by hand, and was disgorged in October 2022 - about 29 months on the lees, past the 18 to 24 months the house quotes for the cuvée. Residual sugar 9.4 g/L, 11.5% abv.
