2015 Riesling Sekt Brut (Gysler, Alexander)
Alexander Gysler, Riesling Sekt Brut, Rheinhessen, Germany 2015
{biodynamic} 100% Riesling PINEAPPLE & MEYER LEMON, RADIANT ACIDITY, CREAMY CHAMPENOISE VIBES The Gysler family has spent just over two and a half centuries in the vineyards of this corner of Germany’s Rheinhessen, and its current crop, Alexander, is leading a regional thirst for utopian quality. Working biodynamically for over a decade, he has both the raw materials and the vision to craft truly extraordinary wine. This Riesling sekt has a finesse and power specifically recognizable from the estate's still offerings as well as an appeal plucked straight from great Champagne or, perhaps more specifically, the Chenin-based bubblies of the Loire Valley. Serving Suggestion: Roast salmon w/ lemon & dill. Gruyère & Emmental quiche w/ leek, parsnip, & spinach.$26.99 each
