Weingut Hees Riesling Sekt Brut NV
This truly unique Riesling Sparkling Brut opens with lively citrus, green apple, and white peach, underscored by energetic bubbles. The palate is fresh and zingy, balancing fruitiness with a crisp acidity and a delicate mineral edge. Its mousse is gentle yet persistent, leading to a clean, invigorating finish.
Production
Produced using the traditional bottle fermenting method (méthode traditionelle), this sparkling Riesling sees extended lees aging, which enhances its complexity and texture while preserving the aromatic purity and lively acidity that are the hallmarks of the Nahe region.

Awards and Scores
From James Suckling who gave 94pts to the Weingut Hees Riesling Sekt: "A strikingly original sparkling riesling with lemon curd, wild herbs and a touch of smoke. It’s unlike anything else in this category. For sparkling riesling this has an elegant acidity plus a pronounced wet stone minerality that beautifully matches the restrained lees creaminess and fine mousse. Drink or hold."
