Blanc de Blancs Sekt Brut Nature 2019

Wine Description for Blanc de Blancs Sekt Brut Nature 2019 by Peter Jakob Kühn

Colour & Appearance

Sparkling golden yellow with lively, fine-beaded mousse rising through the glass. The perlage is generously distributed and persistent – a visual promise of artisanal quality.

Nose

Precise and clear: lemon zest and green apple dominate, underpinned by wild herbs and a delicate mineral oyster shell note. The 30-month yeast ageing reveals itself in subtle brioche hints, yet remains restrained and allows the fruit to take centre stage.

Palate

Here the true class of this Blanc de Blancs unfolds: refined and multi-layered, with a texture that balances between creamy yeast autolysis and crisp acidity. The Brut Nature dosage (zero residual sugar) allows the purity of the fruit to shine unadorned. Citrus and stony minerality merge into a tension-filled flavour profile. Neither too austere nor too indulgent – precisely right.

Finish

Long, saline-fresh and with a delicate herbal spice that lingers. The acidity remains present yet integrated, leaving a clear, appetite-awakening impression.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes hail from the higher vineyard sites of the renowned Rheingau estate Peter Jakob Kühn – parcels known for their coolness and mineral character. Here the signature of a terroir emerges that places elegance before opulence.

Grape Variety & Vinification

A cuvée of Riesling, Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois, traditionally made into sparkling wine with 30 months on the lees. The Brut Nature philosophy underscores Kühn’s commitment to clarity and authenticity.

Food Pairing Suggestions

An ideal aperitif, yet robust enough for apple and celery carpaccio with candied hazelnuts, prawns with pumpkin purée and ginger or even pork belly with carrot, cardamom and chilli. The acidity cuts through fat, the minerality harmonises with seafood.

Special Features

A German grower’s sparkling wine that need not hide from Champagne. Peter Jakob Kühn proves that Rheingau Riesling can achieve world-class standards in bottle fermentation.
