I probably shouldn’t let my snootier wine buddies know that I have a real soft spot for Sekt— especially a $13 bottle! Very pale color and fine bead. Nose is slate, petrol, apricots, and a pear/apple white fruit. These are all echoed on the palate. I love this wine. To my palate, this is summer in a bottle and it arrived just in time! Oysters or Asian food are the obvious pairings but I could also see this with grilled seafood, Spanish tapas, or just about anything else that screams “summer!!” Just keep refreshing the glass because, once flat, it keeps the minerals and fruit but also becomes quite thin.

pale lemon colour, small bubles; shiny; very good. nose: bread crust, smoke, light pitch, some salty mineral notes; lacks fruit. taste: quite active mousse; medium (+) acidity; some green apples, pears, spring water, bread. Medium (+) finish (with some mineral carbon notes). Very good sekt but needs more depth to score it higher.

Lemon gold color. Nice effervescence and the bubbles sizzle for a nice long time.
Lovely nose reminiscent of an Auslese Riesling. Ripe pear, white flowers, honey, waffle, caramel.
Outstanding balance - bright acid plays with a succulent nectar-like sweetness. Absolutely loving this wine!

Simple sekt. Lemon and mousse, nothing else.
