Dornfelder, Müller-Thurgau
Nahe

Pink Fizzy 2022 is a fruity, smashable pét nat with a surprising structure, reminiscent of a red. The first ever pink fizzy from Glow Glow and a wine that captures the erratic weather of 2022 in a glass; a vintage that might never be repeated. Roughly 60% Dornfelder and 40% Müller-Thurgau are direct pressed together, with the dark skin of Dornfelder giving the wine a deep colour, along with the pure fruit drive typical of this grape variety. After the first fermentation finished in March the wine was disgorged to remove the biggest part of the lees, lowering explosivity and creating a different mouthfeel. A day before disgorgement the bottles were shaken, inverted and left to rest outside while the lees collected. Chilled to around 2°C, the wines were gently opened to expel the plug of lees in the neck, and topped up with more pink fizzy. Give it a gentle inversion and drink chilled, with a glass ready to catch any escaping bubbles.
