NKOTB, they are not - the Albrecht family has lived in Orschwihr since the end of the 17th century & furthermore, there has been an Albrecht growing wine in the Alsace since 1425. The Pinot Noir for this sparkler comes from Bollenberg, the hill where Celts once venerated the god Belenos – so we’ve got an Irish/French connection here – can’t miss!
I find at family gatherings & holiday parties that everyone loves this little gem. It is a great, tasty value. Sparkling wines are some of the best food wines for the holidays – high in acidity, low in alcohol, and the effervescence deliciously scrubs the palate.
