Complex nose of caramelized pear, candied orange and flint. Generous and creamy with a tantalizing mousse and mineral acidity on the texturally complex medium- to full-bodied palate. For a bone-dry sparkling riesling this has amazing harmony at the very long spicy finish. A cuvee of one-third each from the Ellergrub and Zollturm sites of Enkirch on the Mosel and another third from the Altenberg site of Oberemmel on the Saar. All from 60-year-old vines. No sulfites added. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Varietal

Riesling

Riesling grapes have been grown in and around central Europe for centuries, and over time, they became the lasting symbol of south Germany's ancient and proud wine culture. Whilst the reputation of German wines abroad has in the past been mixed, the Germans themselves take an enormous amount of pride in their wineries, and Riesling grapes have now spread around the globe, growing anywhere with the correct climate in which they can thrive. Riesling grape varietals generally require much cooler climatic conditions than many other white grapes, and they are generally considered to be a very 'terroir expressive' varietal, meaning that the features and characteristics of the terroir they are grown on comes across in the flavors and aromas in the bottle. It is this important feature which has allowed Riesling wines to be elevated into the category of 'fine' white wines, as the features of the top quality bottles are generally considered to be highly unique and offer much to interest wine enthusiasts.

Country

Germany

As in many Old World countries, the rise of viticulture in Germany came about as a result of the Roman Empire, who saw the potential for vine cultivation in the vast flatlands around the base of the Rhine valley. Indeed, for over a thousand years, Germany's wine production levels were enormous, with much of the south of the country being used more or less exclusively for growing grapes. Over time, this diminished to make way for expanding cities and other types of industries, but Southern Germany remains very much an important wine region within Europe, with many beautifully balanced and flavorful German wines being prized by locals and international wine lovers alike. The hills around Baden-Baden and Mannheim are especially noteworthy, as these produce the high end of the characteristic semi-sweet white wines which couple so perfectly with German cheeses and pickled vegetables. However, all of Germany's wine producing regions have something special and unique to offer, and are a joy to explore and experience.

Region

Mosel-Saar-Ruwer

The Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region in western Germany is famous for producing some of the world’s finest Rieslings. Steep, slate-covered slopes along the Mosel, Saar, and Ruwer rivers reflect sunlight and retain heat, helping grapes ripen in a cool climate. This terroir yields aromatic, high-acid Rieslings with striking minerality, low alcohol, and a balance of sweetness and freshness. Styles range from bone-dry to lusciously sweet, often with exceptional aging potential. The region’s best wines come from terraced vineyards like Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Scharzhofberger, and Ürziger Würzgarten. Manual vineyard work is intense, but the payoff is elegance and precision in the glass. Mosel-Saar-Ruwer wines are transparent expressions of site and vintage. While mostly white, they offer incredible diversity in style and structure—making them essential for any wine lover exploring Germany’s classic regions.

Even eight months after the disgorgement, Immich's lemon-colored 2020 Riesling Brut Nature Jour Fixe is not just pure and intense in its mineral-iodine expression and lychee-scented fruit aromas but also still somewhat untamed. Lush and intense on the palate, this is a charmingly round and fruit-intense Mosel Riesling Sekt that doesn't have the purity and finesse of the finest sparkling wines, but it does have texture, fruit and substance. The finish is long, mouthfilling and very pleasant. It's a lovely sparkling wine in its very unique, rather vinous character. It will probably improve further with bottle age. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in November 2023.

Winery Notes

The Riesling Sekt Brut Nature “Jour Fixe” is made from equal parts of fruit harvested in the upper part of the Enkircher Ellergrub, the west-facing part of the Trabener Zollturm and bought-in grapes from old vines in the Oberemmeler Altenberg. The wine is methode champenoise, aged nine months in barrels, and disgorged without any dosage or SO2 (the disgorgement date is not provided on the label). Gernot allows the base wine ample contact with oxygen to reduce the primary fruit and enhance the texture. The finished Sekt is nicely intense with mouthcoating mousse on the palate, yet there is a really fine delicately racy acidity lifting up the aromatics and giving this overall richer styled Sekt much vibrancy and focus right into the beautiful finish. Notably Chenin-like in many ways!
