Rheingau Brut Riesling 2013

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 🍣
