Riesling Sekt Brut Goldloch
This special auction batch of the Goldloch 2008 Riesling Brut Nature, as it is referred to (and partially handwritten) on the front label, was fermented and aged in Stückfass for 10 months before being bottled in magnums and aged for 163 months (i.e. more than 13.5 years) on its lees and then disgorged without dosage in March 2023 (the disgorgement date is written on the back label). The nose is gorgeous and magnificently complex, with notes of almond, minty herbs, spearmint, vineyard peach, smoky herbs, thyme, and may tree. It is beautifully playful on the delicately spicy and zesty palate, which superbly plays with fine and light creamy elements. The finish has some pastry and bakery flavors, as well as fine notes of mature nut and almond cream. The after-taste leaves a very fresh and vibrating lime-driven feel. This is a splendid mature, yet fresh and precise Sekt. Now-2028+ 94/100
