Austrian traditional method sparkling from Norbert Szigeti's Sektkellerei in Gols, Burgenland. Guessed the country blind - the combination of proper traditional-method mousse, good acidity, a touch of minerality, and unmistakable Riesling aromatics gave it away. Stone fruit, citrus blossom, fine persistent bubbles. The Riesling character stays front and centre - more overtly fruity and floral than Champagne, less autolytic, more varietal. Disgorged April 2024. A well-made Sekt that lets the grape speak.
