Kalinda Riesling Sekt Dry

SKU #1037462

Sekt is the German name for sparkling wine, a style that they are very passionate about and drink on a regular basis. Some estates have made it a specialty and are well respected for their bubbly. Such an estate is Fitz-Ritter in the Pfalz who we are happy to say produced this sparkling Riesling for us. The Sektkellerei Fitz (Sparkling-Wine-Cellar) is historically one of the most interesting in all of Germany. Produced of 100% Riesling this sparkling wine is fresh and vibrant with fine bubbles and a creamy mouth feel underscored by the beautiful stone fruits and snappy acidity we love in Riesling. At 11.5% alcohol this is a lighter style of bubbly that won't overwhelm the palate before a meal or become to taxing when many wines will be served.

Germany surprises me sometimes. I grew up turning my nose up at "anything" Sekt, until I tasted this bottle on New Year's! Incredibly aromatic but dry as it can be. A bubbly to go with a Blanquette de Veau, Quiche Lorraine, Waldorf Salad, Sashimi and Sushi, Chinese food and all things raspberry.

Riesling in bubble form...what could be be better? In my wine world, not too much! Along with being deliciously refreshing and light, this Sekt has the telltale apple and lemony notes that taste so perfect at the end of a long day. Sekt makes me so happy!

When this Riesling Sekt (sparkling, from Germany) arrived, it was shy. We were a little apprehensive about the turn it would take once it got its land legs. Fortunately, it gets better every day, moving up in the ranks to be featured in the LA Times NYE sparkling wines review, as well my own personal list of must-have inexpensive sparkling wines. It is crisp and refreshing, showing a lot of lime flavors and minerality. It is dry, but has a lot of fruit on the palate, making it ideal for food, particularly spicy Asian food or sushi. I always keep a few around the house for my own drinking pleasure.

Drink from 2009 to 2015

When we first received the Sekt I was worried. It didn't seem to be the kind of sparkler that would appeal to the general public. However, what a difference some bottle time can make! The flavors are riper and more fruit forward (lemon/lime) than the were initially, and it's now a very light and lively sipper. A great pre-cursor to a meal or for something fun during desert. Completely dry and refreshing.

Additional Information:

Varietal:	Riesling - A great noble variety made famous by the long-lived wines of Germany. Riesling is grown in many countries and can produce wines of high acidity and extraction, making a wine that develops in the bottle much like a great red would. Well known for its great dessert wines, this grape actually produces wines of all sweetness levels. Riesling has a particular ability to exhibit the mineral character of the producing soil, as well as exotic florals, honey, and spiciness. Here is a list of our bestselling Riesling.
Country:	Germany - Thanks to a recent string of excellent vintages and to the reemergence of Germany onto the international wine writing scene, this is a country that's hot, hot, hot! Germany is divided into 13 wine Region and produces a very wide variety of wine styles, from incredibly high-acid, dry wines to some of the sweetest, most unctuous concoctions on the planet and even a few surprisingly hearty reds. Most of the highest-quality wines are grown on steep banks along the rivers in these Region. Small vineyards are still mostly hand tended and picked, due to the difficult nature of mechanization on these slopes. White wine production accounts for nearly 80% of the total with Riesling being the most important varietal, though Muller-Thurgau is still more widely planted.
