Mosel, GermanyJohannes Selbach loves Champagne, so it is no surprise he has tried to emulate the precision and complexity of méthode champenoise in his riesling sekt brut. It rested on tirage between 18-24 months. It’s beginning to show some age in the right way, with some of the brightest notes yielding to older, more complex esters, still floral but less exuberant. Nectarines and apricots with lime leaf mark the palate of a fizz you might say is moving into aged gout Anglais style. It was a perfect start for Dim Sum lunch. Time to drink up.Tasted: 14 January 2019Tasted by: Prices:

Mosel, GermanyOne of the few traditional method sekt on this market, and one worth seeking out. Mosel riesling spends 18-24 months on the lees, and the dosage is an aged auslese, both of which help the sometimes-rocky marriage of riesling and autolysis. Just off dry, with scents of nectarines and fleshy peach, candied apricot and gingersnap on the finish. Acidity is lifted and buoyant, with herbal lime leaf threaded throughout. Serious and ideal for pairing with Thai or Vietnamese.Tasted: 28 February 2018Tasted by: Prices:

Mosel, GermanyIt’s no surprise that Johannes Selbach loves Champagne, its precision and complexity is something he surely understands and no doubt inspires his Brut that sits on tirage between 18-24 months. Unlike the often muted fruit of Champagne this riesling bubble is exuberant with floral, green apple, nectarine aromas and flavours all with a backdrop of complex-ing lees. Fresh and sensitive it’s the perfect fizz for pre-dinner appetizers.Tasted: 06 October 2017Tasted by: Prices:
