What is this wine?
Limnad is a boutique German sparkling wine producer, crafting traditional-method wines that showcase precision and terroir. This Blanc de Noir Extra Brut is made entirely from red grapes (most often Pinot Noir or Pinot Meunier), gently pressed to produce a white sparkling wine. The 2020 vintage was aged on its lees, giving texture and depth while preserving a bone-dry, mineral-driven profile.
