The warm, exposed half of Griesel's single-vineyard pair — same grape, same vintage, same six years of aging as the Fürstenlager bottling, and a completely different wine. The Höllberg sits on a sandy, free-draining plateau between 150 and 210 meters with no forest to cool it at night, so the vines work harder and the Sekt comes out fuller, spicier and more overtly flavorful, where the Fürstenlager is cool and vertical. Underneath the sparse topsoil is the region's weathered granite, with a loess-clay overlay here that adds a little more depth of extract. The wine spends a year in used barrels, then five years on the lees before it is disgorged with zero dosage, and the length of that lees aging is exactly why a wine with no added sugar tastes rich instead of severe. Griesel has been making traditional-method Sekt in the cellars of the former Hessian State Winery in Bensheim since 2013; single-vineyard bottlings like this one only appear in the vintages that earn them. If Krug is your reference point for what long lees aging does to a sparkling wine, start here.

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!
