✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the esteemed Weingut Bernhart on the border of Alsace and the Pfalz, 'Mol ebbes anners' translates in the local Palatinate dialect to 'something a bit different.' This sparkling Rosé Brut is indeed a delightful departure, showcasing the estate's mastery over Pinot Noir in a sparkling format. Sourced from the region's signature limestone-rich (Kalkmergel) soils, the grapes benefit from the unique microclimate of Schweigen-Rechtenbach. The wine is produced using the traditional method of bottle fermentation, undergoing aging on its lees to develop a refined, creamy mousse, vibrant red berry aromas, and a distinct mineral precision that beautifully reflects its cross-border terroir.
🍾 About the Producer
Weingut Bernhart is situated in Schweigen-Rechtenbach along the southernmost fringe of the Pfalz, right at the French frontier near the historic Deutsches Weintor. While the family's agricultural roots date back centuries, estate bottling commenced under Willi and Wilma Bernhart in 1971, followed by their accession to the VDP in 2004 and formal organic certification in 2012. Today led by Gerd and Sabine Bernhart, the estate commands a singular cross-border terroir: approximately two-thirds of its roughly 20 hectares of vineyards are technically situated on French soil in Alsace, governed by special bilateral treaties that allow the wines to bear German designations. The viticultural backbone rests on dense, fossil-rich limestone, calcareous marl, and clay deposits across benchmark cru plots such as the Schweigener Sonnenberg. Winemaking emphasizes spontaneous fermentation, lees contact, and judicious wood aging, generating deeply structured, mineral-driven white and red expressions epitomized by their Kalkmergel and Grosses Gewächs bottlings.
