This wine is distinctively characterised by pale lime hues and strong aroma blending peaches, ripe pears and almonds. Its fruity, fresh taste is harmoniously completed by its appealing creamy consistency, fine and persistent pearl-like appearance and a long-lasting finish.
RHEIN EXTRA BRUT IMPERIAL is the result of natural bottle fermentation that embodies the classic Chardonnay cuvee, a variety of high natural acidity.
