Blanc de Blancs Sekt Brut Nature 2019

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

Colour & Appearance

Luminous golden yellow with a vibrant, fine-beaded mousse that unfolds evenly and persistently in the glass – a first indication of the meticulous craftsmanship in the cellar.

Nose

The nose displays an inviting freshness: citrus peel and green apple form the aromatic backbone, complemented by delicate notes of wild herbs and a mineral hint of oyster shell. The 30-month ageing on yeast leaves a subtle yet unmistakable brioche note in the background.

Palate

On the palate, this Brut Nature presents itself with remarkable precision and vibrancy. The acidity – characteristically Rheingau in style, clear and sinewy – carries the wine with elegance. No dosage whatsoever clouds the purity: what remains is a bone-dry, multi-layered sparkling wine with an almost meditative clarity of structure. Apple, citrus and a fine salinity interweave into a harmonious whole.

Finish

Long, mineral and characterised by a pleasant citrus-driven freshness. The finish immediately invites another sip – a sure sign of quality.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes come from the higher vineyard sites of Peter Jakob Kühn in the Rheingau – one of Germany’s most traditional wine regions. The altitude ensures natural freshness and pronounced minerality, which gives the sparkling wine its distinctive character.

Grape Variety & Vinification

A blend of Riesling, Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois, traditionally vinified using the Méthode classique. With 30 months of ageing on yeast during the secondary fermentation, the wine develops depth and complexity whilst retaining its varietal freshness. No dosage – Brut Nature in its purest form.

Food Pairing Suggestions

An ideal companion to carpaccio of apple and celeriac with candied hazelnuts – the nutty sweetness plays beautifully with the minerality of the sparkling wine. Equally convincing with prawns with pumpkin purée, ginger and honey glaze, where the vibrant acidity skilfully counterbalances the sweetness of the glaze. For the adventurous: pork belly with carrot, cardamom and chilli – an unexpected yet delightful combination.

Special Features

Peter Jakob Kühn is among the pioneering biodynamic producers in the Rheingau. This Blanc de Blancs is no off-the-shelf aperitif sparkling wine, but rather a serious table wine with effervescence – uncompromising, characterful and of impressive individuality.
