Weisser Burgunder brut, versektet im goldenen Mainz
Weisser Burgunder, or Pinot blanc is a white wine grape variety. In Alsace, Germany, Luxembourg, Italy, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia, the wine produced from this grape is a full-bodied white and is the most common variety used for sparkling wine.
This bubbling bottle from Germany was exceptionally delicious, and none too dry with a clear hint of sweetness - we finished the bottle rather swiftly. Its 12% vol. alcohol was smooth and comfortable.
Wine with shimmering gold flakes makes impressive gifts and should be reserved for special occasions - i had wanted to wait till Ric clinch his new deal, but we have ran out of wine today.
Besides, being all stressed up over the new contract that was kind of secured yesterday, he can well deserves a toast... ;) and a pat on the back!

a friend of mine has a bottle that looks like yours but says it is a brut extra and has a gold ring around the label. the bottle translates to contain 24k gold flakes. he was given it as a wedding present 20 years ago but has no idea to its flavour, body, value or anything. if you can spread some light on to our dilemma it would be greatly appreciated.
Hey sorry, mine was also a gift, as such, little was known for its value. But it does feels pampered to be drinking in 24k gold :) Your friend should open up the bottle for his anniversary celebration!
