Its Brut style and lees-derived notes give it a celebratory, Champagne-like character while keeping quince firmly at the centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe well chilled, around 6–8°C, in a tulip-shaped sparkling-wine glass to let the quince aromas open.
