Crafted by the historic Weingut Bernhart on the border of Alsace and the Pfalz, the 'Sommerflausen'—translating to 'summer daydreams'—is a vibrant, joyful white blend designed to capture the carefree essence of warm Pfalz afternoons. Sourced from vineyards influenced by the cool breezes of the nearby Vosges Mountains and the region's diverse soils, this cuvée is vinified in stainless steel to preserve its bright, aromatic profile and crisp, refreshing acidity. It represents the estate's playful side, combining traditional craftsmanship with an easy-drinking, highly approachable style that celebrates the sunny microclimate of Schweigen-Rechtenbach.
