Sparkling rosé almost always costs more than its white counterpart; this one does not, and it is made with more care than most. It is built as a blanc de noirs from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier — pressed pale off black grapes — with just a few milliliters of Pinot Noir red wine added at the end for color, which is why it lands at that old-fashioned salmon and onion-skin hue rather than bright pink. Tradition is Griesel's entry tier, around sixteen months on the lees and finished dry, and the granite bedrock of the Hessische Bergstraße comes through clearly in the wine's stony, salty spine. Griesel has been making traditional-method Sekt in Bensheim since 2013, in the cellars of the former Hessian State Winery. One practical note from people who have poured it: there is a touch of reduction on opening, so give it a few minutes of air or a quick swirl and it opens up beautifully.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Charcuterie, salumi and pickles, grilled shrimp, or a niçoise salad. It is also a fine partner for a summer tomato tart or cold roast chicken.

Tasting Profile

Red currant, blood orange and a little bread dough, with a stony note underneath. Light to medium-bodied and dry, with a creamy, velvety mousse and bright acidity. Granitic and mineral on the finish, clean rather than fruity.

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!
