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.

Why get this wine?
Germany’s top sparkling wines (Sekt) are increasingly recognized for their quality, and Limnad is part of that new wave. This Blanc de Noir offers Champagne-like finesse but with its own fresh, cool-climate character, at a fraction of the price. It’s a wine that combines elegance, energy, and value—perfect for those seeking something distinctive in the sparkling category.

What does this wine taste like?
Crisp and refined, with red apple, pear, and citrus zest, layered with toasty lees notes and subtle red berry hints. Extra Brut keeps it taut and racy, with a long, mineral finish.

When should you drink this wine?
Ideal as an aperitif, with oysters, smoked salmon, or charcuterie, but serious enough for the table alongside roast poultry or mushroom dishes. Drink now through 2026.
