Hansen Lauer Sekt Riesling Brut

Alcohol: 12.5%

Grape(s): 100% Riesling

Location: Germany

Tasting Notes: Golden yellow color. Aromas and flavors of tart green apple, pineapple, scorched orange peel, and lemon marzipan with a satiny, lively, finely carbonated, dry medium body and a sleek, involved, medium-length finish revealing shades of lime zest, candied ginger, canned pineapple, and white flowers. Zippy acidity with lively aromatics make this a natural pairing with spicy and complex Southeast Asian cuisine or rich pork dishes

Notes: The Sekt is bottle fermented ad is aged on the lees for 12 months during second fermentation.This giving it very fine bubbles along with very nice fruit and minerality.

Food pairing: Enjoy it on its own as an aperitif or with delicate food, such as pike, lobster, and scallops and Asian food.

The Domain: The history of the winery goes back more than 400 years. Its 2 hectares of vines are situated around the medieval town of Bernkastel. 90% of the vineyards are planted with Riesling, the leading grape-variety of the Mosel-river. 10% is Spätburgunder, also known as Pinot Noir. Riesling is the wine of the Moselle. This wine is light, elegant and very fine. The most fascinating thing about Riesling is its great diversity of taste. Riesling can taste like a vineyard peach, apple, grapefruit, rose blossom, honey or cut green grass. This list is by no means exhaustive. Just taste it and use your own fantasy and imagination to describe your impressions of smell.
