Sparkling Kaitui – 2023

Markus Schneider Sparkling Kaitui – Sparkling Wine Highlight for Connoisseurs

The Markus Schneider Sparkling Kaitui Sauvignon Blanc is a truly unique experience for all sparkling wine lovers and fans of the popular Kaitui white wine.

The Palatinate winemaker had been toying with the idea of a sparkling Kaitui for a while, and now it has been perfectly realized. Markus Schneider has bottled a Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc with the typical "Schneider Kaitui Twist" and deliberately left the wine on the lees of the second fermentation for only a few weeks. The result is a Sparkling Kaitui where bubbles, exoticism, and lightness go perfectly hand in hand.

This dry sparkling wine is excellent for special occasions, as a gift for good friends, or simply for enjoying on the balcony on a mild summer evening.

Sauvignon Blanc Sparkling Wine from the Palatinate

The Markus Schneider Sparkling Kaitui impresses with its brilliant combination of tradition and innovation. With its delicate platinum-yellow color and greenish reflections, it immediately evokes classic aromas typically found only in wines from cooler climates. Freshly cut grass, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, kiwi, and crisp Granny Smith apple are just some of the associations evoked when enjoying this wine. Mineral notes and hints of white blossoms round out the flavor profile and make the Sparkling Kaitui a sparkling delight.

The fine notes of exotic fruits, green apple, lemon, and fresh grass offer an incomparable taste experience that pairs ideally with Asian dishes, thus creating perfect harmony with Thai curry or summer rolls. Hand-picked grapes from the Palatinate, masterfully vinified by Markus Schneider, testify to excellent craftsmanship.

For the optimal taste experience, it is recommended to serve the Sparkling Kaitui at a temperature of 8 to 10 degrees Celsius.

Markus Schneider – Vinification

It's well known that winemaker Markus Schneider himself enjoys fresh, brilliant Sauvignon Blancs from New Zealand. It's also known that he makes such a white wine in the Palatinate with Kaitui. What's new is that he now also vinifies a sparkling wine from Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The lion's share of the Sauvignon Blanc grapes for the Sparkling Kaitui comes from cool, high-altitude limestone plots. These are complemented by a small proportion from the foothills, where the terroir is dominated by colored sandstone and loess-loam.

Here too, different harvest times bring complexity to the sparkling wine. All grapes are gently processed in the modern press house. After a short maceration period of 4 hours, gentle pressing takes place under low pressure. The temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks then proceeds without external intervention. For the second fermentation, the sparkling wine was left on the yeast lees for only a few weeks to preserve fresh aromas.
