TASTING NOTE
De Kruithof, De Brute Heerlijckheid 2018
sparkling wine
An easy rider, fresh aperitif. Nothing complex, a bit one -dimensional. Both in the smell and taste we have yellow apple, grapes, citrus and some toast. This wine, with the BOB Gelderland-Betuwe, is made according to the methode traditionelle with 18 months of 2nd fermentation.
Wijngaard de Kruithof
Gelderland
Detailed Tasting Notes
Wine tasting: 9 Aug 2022
Appearance
A clear, lemon colored wine with a pale color intensity and petillance in the glass
Nose
The wine has a clean, youthful nose, with a medium- aroma intensity with characteristics of green and yellow fruit, tones of yeast (Lie fermentation) and, in the beginning, some animal tones. We smell aromas of white grapes, apple, pear and yeast.
Palate
A dry wine, with medium+ acidity, medium alcohol, a medium- body and a delicate mousse. The wine has a medium flavor intensity. The palate shows fruity characteristics with flavors of yellow apple, grapes, lime, mandarin and some toast. The wine has a nice ending of medium- length.
Quality Assessment
An easy rider, fresh aperitif. Nothing complex, a bit one -dimensional. Unfortunately, the acids are not completely integrated in the palate and the mousse is not very convincing. We score this wine ‘acceptable’.
