Five years on the lees and all four classic sparkling varieties in one bottle: this is Griesel's prestige cuvée, the wine the house makes when it wants to show everything it can do. Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier are hand-picked in the Hessische Bergstraße, fermented spontaneously in a mix of stainless steel and used French barriques, then left alone in bottle for roughly half a decade before disgorgement with zero dosage — not a gram of sugar added. That long sleep on the yeast is what does the work sugar would otherwise do: it builds texture and a creamy, bready depth so the wine reads as generous rather than austere despite being bone dry. Griesel was founded in 2013 in Bensheim, in the cellars of the former Hessian State Winery, and has become one of the names driving Germany's sparkling revival — traditional-method Sekt made with the seriousness of grower Champagne, a world away from the tank-method bottles most people picture. 2020 was a warm year here, which gave a lighter, more delicately aromatic wine than the vintage might suggest. A very good first stop for anyone curious about what German Sekt has become.

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!
