The Maximin Grunhauser Riesling Sekt Brut is rare, as expensive as Champagne, and well worth the investment. 100% Riesling produced using the traditional methode champenoise. The wine spends only six months on the lees so it picks up some yeastiness and body without sacrificing the delicate Riesling fruit. Memorable aromas and flavors of crushed rocks, minerals, green herbs and piquant Riesling fruit. A very fine mousseux, medium bodied on the palate with rapier-sharp acidity and noteworthy length. A fascinating and exhilarating departure from Champagne, this really wakes up the senses. Drink by itself.
