Why shop with us?
Frank John Riesling Brut 2020 is a distinctive German sparkling wine that puts Pfalz Riesling at the heart of a traditionally made, vintage-dated Sekt. Its extended lees ageing and restrained dosage are designed to balance Riesling’s lively acidity while letting the grape’s character shine.
Tasting Notes
Expect a fine, persistent mousse and a bright, pale colour. Riesling’s aromatic character and fresh acidity should lead the nose and palate, with the Brut dosage lending balance rather than overt sweetness.
Production
The producer’s notes describe a traditional bottle-fermented approach, with the base wine matured in large wooden casks before its second fermentation in bottle. The wine is made from a single vintage without reserve wines and spends at least 36 months on the lees; the supplied tasting note describes minimal dosage to temper Riesling’s naturally high acidity. Specific vineyard sites, harvesting methods and details for the 2020 vintage are not provided.
Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C, with seafood, smoked trout, sushi or lighter savoury dishes. It can also make a refreshing aperitif. Decanting is not necessary; pour gently into sparkling-wine glasses to preserve the mousse.
