2022 Prinz von Hessen Rheingau Riesling Sekt Extra Trocken - 750ml
Wine With Bok - 9/10 Stars
This sparkling juice came from the region of Rheingau of Germany. Riesling is an indigenous grape variety originated from the Rhine region. Thus, it’s interesting to taste a sparkling using different grape varietal compared to the typical Chardonnay or Pinot Noir. Aroma took me a step back as I originally smelled charred plastics, but upon careful re-evaluation, it smelled more like a pungent cheese (think Epoisse from burgundy). Content is very close to Champagne produced quality, with a blend of green and ripe apples, except Riesling is sweeter than Champagne counterparty. Foam and bubbles are abundant, probably a blessing from the young vintage. I think it’s worth a try so that you can formulate a different perspective from the common beaten path of Champagne style.
