From where the bubbles are coming out the bottle, – and more to see!!!
How do the bubbles get into the bottle, this question you might have ask yourself, when you have opened up a bottle of sparkling wine with a loud bang. In the
Sektmanufaktur
Dirk Kessler
in Wintrich at the river Mosel in Germany, near Bernkastel-Kues, you will get an answer to this question.
Here an old handicraft is practised and only particularly chosen wines are used in
order to carry out improving of wines to sparkling wine. In the old curved cellars
the basic wines are stored in the bottles on the yeast, in order to ripen to sparkling
wine for at least 1,5–2 years. The classical method of fermentation in the bottle,
as well called as "methode champenoise", is used. The guests can experience how the
yeast is carefully shaken down into the bottle neck. But the most impressive highlight
is, when yeast will be thrown out by the gas of the bottle accompanied with a
loud "bang".
