Dornfelder was widely planted in the 1980s when Bordeaux was hyped. “The colour is pitch black, but it’s ironic because it’s not a big wine,” explains Alanna. With its alcohol maxing out at nine, maybe ten, per cent, it’s never going to be mistaken as a Bordeaux. Although not her first choice, Alanna had a thought. “Being half Italian, I grew up drinking Lambrusco. So I had the idea to do it German-style.” 

Frauen Power’s colour might be dark and stormy, but it smells like bing cherries, the ones that pair so well with boozy chocolate. It’s not sweet, however. It’s dry like blackcurrants that aren’t quite ready to leave their vine. Frauen Power is also a reminder that sparkling wines can do a lot more than toast to special occasions. They dress down just as well as they dress up, accompanying pizza, buttery crackers, or just a balmy afternoon.

About the Winemaker
Alanna Lagamba | Vin de LaGamba

Alanna Lagamba is a natural wine producer making wine under the name Vin de Lagamba. Alanna comes from Canada, but moved to Germany where she soon fell in love with wine, viticulture, and fellow winemaker Martin Wörner of Marto Wines. Passionate about starting her own project, she asked Martin for Pinot Noir. With only one small vineyard he’d planted five years earlier that he was excited to finally make wine from, he said no. But he offered her Dornfelder, a grape he didn’t know what to do with. she used the unused Dornfelder vines on his plot in Rheinhessen, and soon the iconic FrauenPower was born, boosted using a splash of Silvaner.
