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 🍣

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! — 9 months 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
