Description

Von Wiesen Quitte Brut 2020 is a distinctive sparkling drink made from Bergstraße quinces rather than grapes, offering a vivid expression of a rare local fruit. Its Brut style and lees-derived notes give it a celebratory, Champagne-like character while keeping quince firmly at the centre.

Tasting Notes
The available tasting note for the 2019 vintage describes a slightly cloudy, golden-yellow pour with a delicate bead and a light mousse. The aroma is unmistakably quince, with honeyed fruit joined by hints of vanilla and brioche. On the palate, it is fully dry and lively, with natural acidity and a gentle tannic structure from the fruit; the finish brings the quince’s fragrant, distinctive character into focus.

Production
The quinces come from the Quittenprojekt Bergstraße in Weinheim, a private initiative that has planted around 650 trees representing approximately 60 varieties. According to the supplied note for the 2019 vintage, the juice was spontaneously fermented, kept on its full lees for ten months, then bottled unfiltered and unfined for a second fermentation. Specific harvest and vinification details for the 2020 vintage are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, around 6–8°C, in a tulip-shaped sparkling-wine glass to let the quince aromas open. Its dryness and fresh acidity should suit pâté, mature or washed-rind cheeses, roast poultry, and fruit-led desserts. Decanting is not recommended for a sparkling drink.

Producer
Griesel & Compagnie is the producer behind Von Wiesen Quitte Brut. The supplied information identifies Niko Brandner with the cuvée and highlights its connection to the Quittenprojekt Bergstraße, which works to cultivate a broad range of quince varieties in Weinheim. Further details about the producer’s history and achievements are not available here.
