2023 Werkstatt Riesling Sekt

$53.00
/
Tax included.

Varietal: Riesling
Region: Mount Gambier, SA
Winemaker: Bridget Mac

Delicate bubbles, gentle sea breezes and crisp acidity. This is an easy-breezy summer aperitif that stands up perfectly well all by itself or alongside savoury snacks or pre-dinner bites. Flavours of lemon zest and honeysuckle combine with an ever so subtle saltiness to create a super-refreshing crowd pleaser that very much deserves a spot in your Spring/Summer rotation!

Mount Gambier’s cool maritime climate is ideally suited to premium Riesling production. Limestone soils encourage crisp acidity ideal for sparkling wines. The 2023 Riesling Sekt emerged following a cooler season which provided the perfect conditions to produce a sparkling Riesling in the Traditional Method/Sekt style. Partially whole bunch pressed, utilising only free run juice and fermented in old French puncheons before resting on gross lees for 3 months to add subtle complexity. Dosage of 4 g/L to balance the higher acid from the cooler season.
