A single-vineyard Sekt from a cool, fractured granite slope that Griesel bottles only in years it thinks are worth it — and 2020 got six years of patience: one in used barrel, then five on the lees before disgorgement with zero dosage. The Fürstenlager parcels sit between 150 and 200 meters on the Auerbach hillside, positioned where cold air drains down out of the Odenwald forest at night, and that steady chill is why the wines from here come out taut and vertical rather than broad. The granite itself weathers into thin, sandy, hungry soil, which is where the lively acidity and the salty snap on the finish come from. The vineyard shares its name with the Staatspark Fürstenlager, the 18th-century summer retreat of the Landgraves of Hesse-Darmstadt just up the slope. Griesel, founded in 2013 in Bensheim in the old Hessian State Winery cellars, is one of a small handful of German houses making traditional-method Sekt at this level of ambition. Serve it in a proper white wine glass, not a flute — the detail is the whole point.

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!
