This high quality sparkling wine is made from two of the classic Champagne grapes, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. To give it a little “Mosel Twist,” we added 10% Riesling to add some freshness. The result is a Cuvée which Nik and Daniela Weis named after their daughter Clara – “Cuvée Clara.” This is a true Mosel expression of the classic varietal combination, usually found in Frances’ Champagne region plus the noblesse of the Riesling grape, which makes it unusual and exciting!

The Estate

Founded in 1947, Nik Weis – St. Urbans-Hof has become one of the most important and classic wineries in the Mosel region. Since 2000, the Riesling winery is member of Germany’s renowned VDP (Association of German Quality Wine Estates). The approximately 45 hectares of vineyards stretch for around 60 km along the Mosel and Saar rivers and are cultivaed in a traditional manner in harmony with nature. Five of the prestigious individual crus, in which world-class Rieslings grow, are classified as Wines from great Sites (VDP.Grosse Lage). The wines are fermented exclusively with indigenous yeasts.

Wine Making

We are experiencing an increasing demand for sparkling wine in the last couple of years. In 2018 we decided to bottle a “Tirage” of a top quality sparkling wine, made from two of the classic Champagne grapes Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. We thought that it would be nice to give it a little “Mosel Twist” by composing 10% Riesling into the Cuvee for its freshness.
