Geheimer Rat Dr von Bassermann-Jordan, Riesling Brut, Mosel, Germany

Subtle but enticing notes of dried lemon rind and the merest touch of yeast play on the nose. The palate adds rounded and ripe notes of yellow pear and an edge of quince while that note of dried lemon rind makes the mouth water. This speaks of the ripeness of the 2018 vintage and delivers a fruity and balanced Sekt that is just about still in the brut range. This will shine with any savoury dishes that feature fruity elements like dried apricots, peach or riper citrus.
