Feire and Feiern, named aptly to evoke celebration and festivity in German, offer a delightful journey into the world of sparkling wines crafted with precision and tradition. Feire, a sparkling blanc des blancs, invites enthusiasts into the realm of pure elegance. Made exclusively from the white grape, Chardonnay, it embodies freshness and finesse. Its creation through the méthode traditionelle, where secondary fermentation occurs in the bottle, followed by aging on lees for three years, results in a wine of complexity and depth. This process lends Feire a characteristic creamy texture and nuanced flavors that unfold with every sip, making it an ideal companion for joyous occasions. On the other hand, Feiern, a Cuvee Noir, celebrates with a blend that exudes richness and vibrancy. Crafted from a blend of red grapes, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, it promises a palate of red fruit notes intertwined with the signature effervescence of traditional method sparkling wines. Aged on lees for three years, Feiern develops a captivating bouquet and a refined structure that amplifies its role in festive gatherings and special moments. Both wines, steeped in the heritage of méthode traditionelle, offer not only a taste of luxury but also a tribute to meticulous craftsmanship. Their names reflect not just the Zerk sisters German heritage, but also a commitment to enhancing celebratory occasions with sparkling wines that are as delightful as they are memorable. Whether it's the purity of Feire's blanc des blancs or the exuberance of Feiern's Cuvee Noir, these sparkling wines embody the essence of celebration in every effervescent bubble.
