Blanc de Blancs [Sekt], Gobelsburg

A flinty sense of reduction is soon followed by creamy, smoky notions of Mirabelle plum on the nose. The palate remains taut and carries the smoky fruit aloft on its myriad creamy bubbles.

Tautness and freshness are key on this wonderfully austere and grown-up Sekt. Lemony briskness, autolytic depth and smoldering smokiness make for a great trio.
