Petit Adler Sekt Brut

Wine Description for Petit Adler Sekt Brut by Franz Keller

Colour & Appearance

Radiant, pale golden yellow with a lively, fine-beaded mousse that rises elegantly and persistently in the glass. The perlage is generously distributed and invigorating – a visual promise of freshness.

Nose

Immediately engaging: crisp apple and citrus fruits dominate, accompanied by delicate white peach. Beneath unfolds a subtle yeast note reminiscent of fresh brioche, accentuated by nuanced hints of anise, ginger and almonds. An aromatic profile that combines complexity with accessibility.

Palate

Refreshingly direct and fruit-driven – the stimulating carbonation carries the apple and citrus notes vibrantly across the palate. The wine proves quaffable and invigorating, without appearing superficial. The 4 g dosage provides subtle creaminess that frames the fruit perfectly, without masking the crisp acidity.

Finish

Medium length and clean, with a refreshing citrus note that lingers. The yeast notes fade discreetly, leaving an appetite-stimulating impression.

Terroir & Origin

Hailing from Baden, the grapes thrive on loess and clay soils that lend the Sekt its characteristic fullness and structure. The Franz Keller estate stands for uncompromising quality and tradition-conscious craftsmanship.

Grape Variety & Vinification

A harmonious cuvée of Müller-Thurgau, Chardonnay and Weißburgunder. Traditional bottle fermentation using the classical method, disgorged in November 2022. The moderate dosage of 4 g underscores the Brut character and allows the grape varieties to shine authentically.

Food Pairing Suggestions

An ideal aperitif that also excels as a versatile food companion: perfect with oysters, scallops, smoked salmon or goat’s cheese. Also recommended with asparagus with hollandaise sauce or light lemon pasta dishes.

Special Features

The „little eagle“ from the Keller house impresses with its outstanding value for money and proves that German sparkling wine production at the highest level need not be elitist. An uncomplicated, yet by no means simple sparkling wine for everyday occasions and special moments alike.
