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 manufacturer begins with careful soil cultivation and consistent greening. The vineyard work of Michael Andres and Steffen Mugler is pure craftsmanship and characterized by a great love for biodynamics. The rhythm of nature significantly dictates their actions. For both, healthy soil, intact flora and fauna, and thus a strong vine are prerequisites for a healthy circular economy. Therefore, they hand-pick all biodynamically cultivated vineyards to bring the grapes undamaged to the sparkling wine estate in Ruppertsheim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere, Chardonnay and Auxerrois are then gently pressed, because the gentler the pressing, the fewer tannins and wax from the berry skin get into the must, and the finer and more long-lasting the perlage will be in the sparkling wine. Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir are also gently pressed to prevent the red color pigments from the skin from dissolving, allowing white must to run off. 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, where the malic acid in the wine is converted into milder lactic acid, which gives the base sparkling wine a special mouthfeel and creaminess. The Chardonnay portion is aged in barriques, which adds even more complexity to the cuvée. Compared to Cuvée Elena, Cuvée Louis is the red-heavier cuvée.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe following year, Cuvée Louis is bottled and disgorged to trigger the second fermentation in the bottle. It then rests and matures on fine lees for another year, being regularly riddled and the bottles gradually turned upside down, until at the very end, during manual disgorgement, the yeast plug is removed from the bottle, and the Andres Mugler organic sparkling wine Cuvée Louis Brut Nature, without any dosage added, rests 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 Andres \u0026amp; Mugler sparkling wine manufacturer in Ruppertsberg was founded in 1989 by two friends and Palatinate winemakers, Michael Andres and Steffen Mugler. In the early 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. On a total of 17 hectares (7 hectares for Michael and 10 hectares for Steffen), the sparkling wine estate practices biodynamic viticulture, cultivating Riesling and white Burgundy varieties such as Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois, and Chardonnay, as well as Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir in the best vineyards of the Palatinate. From these grapes, German sparkling wine with a distinctive, elegant style is produced using traditional bottle fermentation. Sparkling wine from Germany at the highest level and in 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 due respect. The Andres \u0026amp; Mugler sparkling wine estate is a member of \"die Sektmacher\" (the sparkling wine makers), 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":56361402597702,"sku":"020AMS0005","price":25.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4960\/1350\/files\/andres-mugler-cuvee-louis-brut-nature-2020_29893069-8e45-4551-998b-5df3d4684ef2.jpg?v=1776144410","url":"https:\/\/genussland.de\/en\/products\/andres-mugler-cuve-louis-brut-nature-2020","provider":"genussland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
