Grape(s): 100% Riesling
Country: Germany

Tasting Notes: A citrus and green orchard-fruit lead Sekt with gently yeasty, umami notes and some candied orange peel on the finish. A brilliant aperitif wine.
Winemaking: Grapes are picked early and hand-harvested as whole bunches. The first fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with native yeasts. The fermentation is stopped by chilling and filtration of the base wine once residual sugar hits 24 grams. After tirage the wine spends 15 months on lees in bottle, with no sugar or dosage added. It is bottled as a Brut, but contains just 4-6 grams of residual sugar. Viticulture is sustainable, no herbicides or pesticides are used.
