Griesel & Compagnie, Riesling Prestige Brut Nature, 2021 (Pre-sale, wine arrives by the end of 2026) more spirits SKUs full conversion expected by 2030Riesling Sekt can very often be overly reductive with a sort of plasticky note, while also losing its charming fruit character, but here it manages to do the opposite. There is a whiff of flinty noble reduction on the nose, but the palate is very complex with blueberry, white pepper, mushroom, and a definite stony, granitic finish. The best in class for the grape in bubble form.
