Blanc de Noirs Sekt Brut Nature 2019

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

Colour & Appearance

Sparkling golden yellow in the glass, threaded with a lively, broad-ranging mousse that bears witness to the extended time on the lees. An optically appealing sparkling wine with promising structure.

Nose

Fascinatingly complex: red berries meet fresh herbal notes, underpinned by pronounced stony minerality. The cool, almost saline precision reveals the higher Rheingau vineyard sites. A winey, multifaceted bouquet that takes time to unfold.

Palate

Here the true class emerges: saline intensity and crisp freshness dominate the attack. The Brut Nature dosage allows the wine its authentic character – no sweetness detracts from the precise fruit and vibrant minerality. Taut, focused and with remarkable length.

Finish

Persistent and mineral-saline, with delicate berry fruit that lingers elegantly. The freshness tempts you immediately to the next sip – a sparkling wine that invites you to keep drinking.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes come from the higher vineyard sites of the renowned Peter Jakob Kühn estate in the Rheingau. The cooler hillside locations lend the Pinot Noir that freshness and minerality which distinguish this sparkling wine.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir), traditionally vinified and aged 30 months on the lees. The extended time on the lees imparts complexity and creaminess, whilst the Brut Nature dosage (0-3 g/l residual sugar) emphasises the purity of the terroir.

Food Pairing Recommendations

An ideal companion to beef carpaccio with rocket and balsamic, scallops wrapped in ham or figs with walnuts on toasted bread. The saline minerality harmonises perfectly with savoury, aromatic dishes.

Special Features

A Blanc de Noirs of extraordinary precision – Peter Jakob Kühn demonstrates that German producer sparkling wine at the highest level can compete with Champagne. The combination of biodynamic viticulture and the traditional method creates a sparkling wine of remarkable authenticity.
