Sekthaus Raumland Sekt – Chardonnay Prestige Brut
The Sekthaus Raumland Sekt Chardonnay Prestige Brut 2009 is a Blanc de Blanc, meaning a dry white sparkling wine made from white grapes. In this case, 100% Chardonnay grapes. Raumland Prestige sparkling wines are characterized by and shaped by their long yeast aging of 6 - 9 years. During this time, unmistakable aromas of brioche, nut butter, and toasted almonds develop. The Raumland Sekt Chardonnay Prestige Brut enchants with its particularly fine perlage and a deep body with a long finish.
The current vintage from 2009 was aged on the lees for 72 months. It was disgorged in January 2017 and has been stored cool and dark in its original carton ever since. The Raumland Sekt Pinot Prestige Brut is a very complex sparkling wine, full-bodied and powerful with good structure, firm acidity, and great length. The Prestige sparkling wine smells of pear and ripe honeydew melon, shows intense notes of fresh challah, nuts, and almonds, spot on, crystal clear, and puristically dry. Chardonnay in its purest form.

Sekthaus Raumland – Sparkling wine on par with Champagne
Sekthaus Raumland from Flörsheim-Dalsheim in Rheinhessen produces premium German sparkling wine that stands up to international comparison.
Volker Raumland produces sparkling wine using traditional bottle fermentation, exclusively from his own hand-picked grapes, with a focus on Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder) and Chardonnay, from organically cultivated vineyards. The Pinot Noir grapes for this traditional sparkling wine grow on almost 30-year-old vines in the Dalsheimer Bürgel site on calcareous shell limestone soils.
Gentle pressing, aging of the base wines in barriques, malolactic fermentation, secondary fermentation in the bottle, and a long yeast aging period are prerequisites for this quality, a complex aroma spectrum, and the particular fine perlage of his sparkling wines.
"Good taste is not objective – it cannot be measured. It has taken many years of patience and countless attempts to come closer to the big goal in small steps: to achieve the optimum from the variety of our grape varieties, traditional methods, and currently available possibilities. This is our vision, which challenges us anew every day," says Volker Raumland, Germany's best sparkling wine producer.
