Markus Molitor Riesling Sekt Brut

Markus Molitor has been producing sparkling wines since 1982 and is one of the pioneers in the tradition of sparkling wine in this region. The grapes for this wine come from a variety of Molitor's vineyards along the river Mosel. The slate soil imparts minerality and focus to the finished wine.

Vinification: The grapes are carefully selected, crushed, and then the must is fermented in large wooden barrels. A second fermentation follows in tank.

Alcohol: 12.5%

Winemaker Tasting notes:  Aromas reminscent of ripe pear, red apple, grapefruit, nectarine, and white peach. Notes of brioche, stone, and white pepper on the palate. Clear, lively, refreshing with a fine bubble and refreshing mineral finish.
