Riesling makes some of the most electric sparkling wine in the world, and the Braunewell brothers prove it with this bone-dry Rieslingsekt from their limestone soils in the cool Selztal of Rheinhessen. Extended lees aging rounds out the wine's naturally racy acidity, so you get both the vivid citrus cut of Riesling and a creamy, satisfying texture. It's a distinctly German take on sparkling wine, aromatic and mouthwateringly crisp, and a smart alternative to the usual Prosecco or Cava. From a family estate driving the quiet renaissance of grower Sekt.

"The 2022 Brut Riesling is picked across Rheinhessen's Selztal and fermented in stainless steel. The wine spent 24 months on lees. The nose reveals citrus with scents of tangerine, lemon and lime, presenting utter freshness and ripeness. This sense of juiciness and aromatic zestiness also lives on the palate, potentiated by lively foam. A beautiful, pure take on Rieslingsekt, full of joy, elan and energy. Lovely. Dosage is 8 grams per liter." —Anne Krebiehl MW

WINE GUIDES

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
