»A prime example of an authentic Riesling sparkling wine typical of the region. The distinctive acid structure that characterises the Riesling grape variety is the basis of the aromas of this refreshing, mineral premium sparkling wine - a Riesling that simply whets the appetite for more.« Markus Mosgowi, Erster Kellermeister, KESSLER Sekt

KESSLER RIESLING RÉSERVE VINTAGE 2016 is a racy and refreshing vintage sparkling wine. The fresh and fruity aromas of citrus, lime peel, green apple and peach are accompanied by fragrant floral notes. In the mouth a fruity start, which with the fresh and lively acidity gives the typical taste of a crisp Riesling sparkling wine with surprising intensity. Like the other two vintage sparkling wines of the "KESSLER Vintage" line, the KESSLER Riesling Vintage extra brut matures for many months in the vaulted cellars under the Kessler house in the bottle on its own yeast. This top quality sparkling wine is also traditionally degorged and riddled by hand. |
