Konni & Evi Ammonit Pinot Brut Nature 2022 white

Konni & Evi Ammonit Pinot Brut Nature 2022 is a characterful, zero-dosage sparkling wine from Saale-Unstrut that highlights precision, minerality, and a very natural approach to winemaking. Made from old-vine Spätburgunder grown on two cool, limestone-rich sites along the Unstrut, it combines artisanal production with a distinctly individual style. As a brut nature Sekt, it offers a pure expression of vineyard and vintage, without any added sweetness to soften its edges.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it is likely to show a refined, pale salmon to light golden hue with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose should lean toward red berry fruit, citrus peel, brioche, and chalky mineral notes, with subtle autolytic complexity from extended lees aging. On the palate, expect a dry, incisive profile with bright acidity, crisp fruit, and a firm mineral backbone. The combination of whole-bunch pressing, spontaneous fermentation, and 30 months on the lees suggests both tension and texture, with the wine built more for precision and energy than overt richness. Thanks to its structure and natural vinification, it should also have good aging potential over the next several years.

Production
The grapes come from two cool, highly calcareous vineyard sites along the Unstrut in Saale-Unstrut, where 45-year-old Spätburgunder vines produce small, aromatic berries. After hand harvest, the fruit was pressed as whole clusters and only the finest press fraction, the cuvée, was used. The base wine was spontaneously fermented in oak and aged for one year on full lees, while the second fermentation was triggered with freshly fermenting must from the 2022 harvest rather than added sugar and cultured yeast, resulting in a fully spontaneous bottle fermentation and a zero-dosage finish after 30 months on lees.

Food & Serving
This brut nature Sekt is an excellent match for oysters, sashimi, salt-crusted fish, ceviche, and delicate shellfish, as well as fine charcuterie or lightly smoked dishes. Serve well chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, and consider a short decant only if you want to soften the first impression—though in most cases, it is best enjoyed straight from the bottle to preserve its freshness and detail.

Producer
Konni & Evi is the name behind the work of Konrad Budrus and his partner, whose wines reflect a hands-on, low-intervention philosophy and a strong sense of place. Based in Saale-Unstrut, one of Germany’s most historic and northernmost quality wine regions, the producer is known for expressive, naturally made wines that emphasize terroir and individuality. Their Ammonit bottlings stand out for combining traditional Sekt craftsmanship with an uncompromisingly natural approach.
