Daniel Fries’ Brut Nature is Champagne thinking via the Pfalz: pure, precise and unapologetically dry. Made entirely from Pinot Noir and bottled with zero dosage, this is all about clarity and tension. The nose is quietly complex – red apple skin, wild strawberry, citrus peel and a faint smoky, savoury note. On the palate it’s tight and focused, with fine, persistent bubbles, bright acidity and a chalky, mouth-watering finish. Nothing padded, nothing glossed over – just beautifully judged fruit, texture and freshness.
A serious sparkling wine that rewards attention, but still works brilliantly at the table. Think oysters, cured fish, roast chicken or anything salty that loves a squeeze of lemon, maybe even pork belly if you're feeling adventurous. Elegant, honest fizz with real intent.
