A blanc de blancs aged under a veil of flor, borrowed from the Jura and dropped into a German sparkling house — the base wine rests in big-bellied lined clay vessels where a thin film of yeast forms on the surface, shielding it from oxygen while adding a savory, nutty edge you will not find in another Sekt. Griesel works out of Bensheim in the Hessische Bergstraße, a sliver of a region between Darmstadt and Heidelberg, in the cross-vaulted cellars of the old Hessian State Winery dug into the Grieselberg — the hill that gave the house its name when Petra Greißl-Streit and Jürgen Streit revived the site in 2013. Winemaker Rachele Crosara, an Italian oenologist who joined as cellar master in 2017, works only in the traditional method, with hand-harvested fruit, spontaneous fermentation and years on the lees. Prestige is the single-variety, single-vintage tier: one year in barrel, then three to four on tirage, then disgorged brut nature, meaning nothing at all is added back — no sugar to round the edges, nowhere to hide. If you like Tissot or the oxidative end of grower Champagne, this is the bottle to start with. If your idea of German sparkling is a cheap supermarket bottle, this will reset it.

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!
