The cool winds from the nearby Palatinate Forest ensure a good acid structure in the early-harvested base wines, which is essential for good sparkling wine. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quality philosophy of the Andres Mugler sparkling wine manufactory begins with careful soil cultivation and consistent greening. The vineyard work of Michael Andres and Steffen Mugler is pure craftsmanship, characterized by a great love for biodynamics. The rhythm of nature significantly influences their actions. For both, healthy soil, intact flora and fauna, and thus vigorous vines are prerequisites for a healthy circular economy. Therefore, they hand-harvest all biodynamically cultivated vineyards to bring the grapes undamaged to the sparkling wine estate in Ruppertsheim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere, the Chardonnay and Auxerrois are gently pressed, because the gentler the pressing, the fewer tannins and wax from the berry skins get into the must, and the finer and more persistent the perlage will be in the sparkling wine later. Only about two-thirds of the juice present in the berries is pressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the cellar, Steffen Mugler and Michael Andres give their sparkling wines time. The grapes are allowed to ferment slowly and undergo malolactic fermentation, in which the malic acid in the wine is converted into the milder lactic acid, giving the sparkling wine base a special mouthfeel and creaminess. About 20 percent of the Chardonnay is aged in barriques, which adds even more complexity to the cuvée.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe following year, the Chardonnay Auxerrois is bottled and tirage is added to initiate the second fermentation in the bottle. Now it is allowed to rest and mature on the fine lees for another year, it is regularly riddled and the bottles are increasingly turned upside down, until at the very end, during manual disgorging, the yeast plug is removed from the bottle, and the Andres Mugler Organic Sparkling Wine Chardonnay Auxerrois Brut Nature rests without any dosage in the bottle until \"it's good when it comes out,\" as Steffen emphasizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAndres Mugler – The Sparkling Wine Makers\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sparkling wine manufactory Andres \u0026 Mugler in Ruppertsberg was founded in 1989 by two friends and Palatinate winemakers, Michael Andres and Steffen Mugler. In the first years, base wines were purchased and made into sparkling wine, but since 1993, only grapes from their own cultivation have been processed into sparkling wine. The sparkling wine estate cultivates 17 hectares (7 hectares for Michael and 10 hectares for Steffen) using biodynamic viticulture, growing Riesling and white Burgundy varieties, such as Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois, and Chardonnay, but also Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir in the best vineyards of the Palatinate. From these grapes, German sparkling wine with an unmistakable, elegant style is produced using traditional bottle fermentation. Sparkling wine from Germany at the highest level and of organic quality. In 2019, two sparkling wines were rated as very good for the first time at the Meininger Deutscher Sektpreis, followed in 2021 by the award from Eichelmann Deutschlands Weine as the best sparkling wine collection 2021. All honor to them. The Andres \u0026 Mugler sparkling wine estate is a member of Die Sektmacher, the association of traditional sparkling wine producers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrganic Control Body DE-ÖKO-039 – German Agriculture \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andres \u0026 Mugler","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":56361397158214,"sku":"020AMS0014","price":20.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4960\/1350\/files\/andres-mugler-chardonnay-auxerrois-brut-nature-2021_235f42ef-5a1c-46d1-9be2-e6f34dbdbc73.jpg?v=1776144257","url":"https:\/\/genussland.de\/en\/products\/andres-mugler-chardonnay-auxerrois-brut-nature-2021","provider":"genussland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
