WIN A TRIP TO THE LOIRE
Ackerman is holding a special competition. If you buy an Ackerman bottle from Perfectewijn before August 15, you'll have a chance to win a two-day wine trip to Maison Ackerman.
When you're sitting on a sunny terrace, that local wine tastes like a dream. But once you're home on a weekday evening, the same bottle is a bit disappointing. Why is that? From the notorious 'suitcase killer' to the relaxed holiday mindset: we explain why wine tastes different at home and how to avoid disappointment!
Maison Ackerman: Pioneer of the Loire bubble since 1811
Crémant de Loire is the best-kept secret of the French wine world, and Maison Ackerman is its founder. Established in 1811 by Belgian entrepreneur Jean-Baptiste Ackerman, it is the oldest sparkling wine house in the Val de Loire. In 1838, Ackerman was the first producer ever to win a gold medal for applying the traditional method in this region, the same technique also used in Champagne.
Forget the charcuterie board for a moment. A true patio wine should be able to stand on its own. We explain why low tannins and the right temperature make all the difference between a heavy afternoon and the perfect refreshment.
