Riesling Sektmacher Réserve extra brut - Weingut Eppelmann

An exceptional Riesling sparkling wine, combining uncompromising craftsmanship, long maturation, and clear origin. The grapes come exclusively from our own vineyards in Elsheimer Bockstein, a site with Terra Fusca soils, known for their high lime and skeletal content, which provides mineral tension and structure.

In the glass, the sparkling wine presents itself with fine bubbles, precise and elegant. The nose combines citrus clarity, ripe apple, and delicate brioche and yeast notes, underpinned by a distinctly chalky minerality. The aroma is calm, focused, and deep.

On the palate, the sparkling wine is taut, fresh, and complex. The lively acidity provides tension, while the long aging on lees gives the wine texture, depth, and length. The dosage of 4 g/l is finely integrated and supports the balance without diluting the dry style. The finish is clear, mineral, and persistent.

After selective hand harvesting, the grapes were gently pressed whole, and the base wine was aged in stainless steel tanks. The secondary fermentation took place classically in the bottle. Subsequently, the sparkling wine matured on the lees before disgorgement.

The wine was recognized as Sektmacher Réserve in a blind tasting, thus meeting the highest quality requirements the Sektmacher Association.

A precise, profound Riesling sparkling wine with clear origin, great elegance, and very good aging potential.
