Calcaire Blanc de blancs Dég. Tardif brut nature

Rings' Calcaire Blanc de Blancs Dégorgement Tardif brut nature is a sparkling wine from the Palatinate region, produced using the traditional Champagne method – made entirely from Chardonnay grapes and bottled without dosage. The late disgorgement (Dégorgement Tardif) means extended lees aging in the bottle after the second fermentation, which imparts a pronounced brioche note and creamy texture to the wine.

On the nose, orange blossom, roasted almond, and a mineral limestone note – fitting the name. The finish is dry, salty, and long. Brut nature means: no residual sugar, no balancing with liqueur d'expédition.

Ideal as an aperitif or with oysters, ceviche, and mild goat cheese. Serving temperature: 8–10 °C.

The Winery

Rings

VDP Member Estate

The beginnings of today's VDP winery were laid by the parents of Steffen and Andreas Rings with a mixed agricultural business, which was operated as such until well into the 1990s. From the year 2000, Steffen Rings occupied himself with the business and restructured it into a pure winery.

From 2008, Andreas Rings also returned from his training at the Wagner-Stempel winery and has been running the winery in Freinsheim in the Palatinate together with his brother Steffen since 2008.

On the 30-hectare winery, red and white grapes grow in equal halves. The sites have different soils - gravelly sand, Terra Rossa (red earth), and limestone - on which predominantly Riesling, Pinot Noir, and international grape varieties thrive. The individual sites belong to Freinsheim, Kallstadt, Ungstein, and Leistadt.
