Straw yellow with a slightly more golden bronze hue.

Yogurty aromatics. Creamy. Bready. Or like peach custard. Or egg tart.

Wow. Zippy. Nice mousse. Honestly reminds me of champagne ha. A pet nat with notes of champagne. Bready. Yeasty. But reserved. Good acid. Luxuriant bubbles.

Might make it into the next wine club tasting I think! — 5 months ago

Damn! Star bright gold with yellow-green highlights. Abundant nose and mouthwatering (medium plus plus [sic] acidity) palate of honeyed yellow apples, honeysuckle, cling peach, and fennel(!) with a hint of smoky flint on the moderate finish. Very rich for a Kabinett, but then this is modern day Mosel and (Erben-)Thanisch has shown rich for decades. The Doctor is truly in and this expression of the universal white should satisfy in all situations. Pork dishes are, of course, a natural but your spicier Asian or Cajun fare will thank you just as earnestly. Drink half of your stash now and the rest will reward through 2034 or so. — 3 years ago

My first sparkling Riesling and it is indeed fun and interesting. Bright clear straw color with little green flecks. A fine mousse with small energetic bubbles. A fantastic citrusy nose heavy on lemon zest and fresh limes. Apricots and pears. An abundance of green and red apples along with toasted bread. There’s some really nice wet stone minerality action here as well.

Easily one of the most intriguing sparklers I’ve had in a while. Very classically styled and so reminiscent of champagne in so many ways. Highly zippy acidity and innate freshness. Personality and character in droves. Bone dry and spunky with a medium body and a long finish. The palate is generous with more citrus fruit and just a bit of earth. This is a fantastic bubbly. — 3 years ago

Fantastic nose with loads of slatey minerality, some deep breadiness, and bruised apple fruit. Loads of flavor, with a big whack of apple fruit and stony minerals. Nice acids, and a nice bead. — 2 years ago

We’ve been so excited to taste this German 🇩🇪 sparkling wine – Sekt – made exclusively from the Riesling variety in a brut (dry) style! 🥂

It’s from the Rheingau region and was produced using the méthode traditionnelle involving two fermentations, the second of which is in the bottle, offering close contact with the lees (dead yeast cells) that impart additional texture and unique aromas and flavors in the resulting wine.

On the nose we’re finding fresh cream, peach, apricot, white blossom, honeysuckle, dried white rose petals, petrol, and brioche notes.

The palate is dry with delicious flavors consistent with the nose. The acidity is medium(+); the body and alcohol are also medium. Despite a little bottle age, this wine is still incredibly vibrant and balanced.

This wine is a delightful pairing with the sushi 🍣

Light and citrusy sparkling wine that has a slight taste of a dry cider. — 4 years ago
