Charles Frey Cremant d'Alsace Nature 2019

A dry sparkling wine that will be a formidable foil for oysters, smoked fish and some sturgeon eggs. It's the drier side of sparklers that work so well with these foods as there's a clean, focused very precise profile of the wine that cuts thru the briney nature of these dishes.

Riesling is nearly synonymous with German wine, and that country's winemakers have lately begun to produce some very exciting dry versions.
