Mr & I joined the sparkling wine tour at Rotkäppchen-Mumm Sektkellereien…read more
Knowing ahead of time they did not offer tours in other languages than German, Mr translated for me & since I was familiar with the wine-making process, it was nice to see their barrel rooms and hear their history (albeit secondhand)
The building and prep areas were extremely hot & we learned that the building itself did not used to have a roof but after many bottles exploded from
Also interesting to see the largest wine barrel n Germany and it was quite impressive to see how pristine the barrel carvings were, even after all this time
Their wines leaned more towards the dry variety and at the end of the tour, we enjoyed a couple of glasses of different blends. The tour guide tried telling us our glasses were the same wine but they definitely were not as the color and tastes were very different
So we unfortunately did not get to purchase a bottle of this but did walk out with a bottle of the Rose. Worth a stop and very interesting history!
