Griesel & Compagnie’s Pinot Blanc Brut Nature Prestige Late Release 2020 is a vintage German sparkling wine that pairs the gentle fruit of Pinot Blanc with a dry, no-dosage finish. Its late release points to extended maturation before release, giving this Hessische Bergstraße bottling a more developed style than a youthful, fruit-forward sparkling wine.
Tasting Notes
Expect a fine, lively mousse and a pale straw colour. The nose may show delicate orchard fruit, citrus and subtle notes from bottle ageing, while the palate is crisp and dry, with Pinot Blanc’s rounded fruit balanced by fresh acidity and a clean finish.
The wine is ready to enjoy now, particularly for those who appreciate a mature, bone-dry sparkling style. Further ageing is possible, though its precise cellaring potential will depend on storage conditions.
Production
Made from Pinot Blanc in Germany’s Hessische Bergstraße, this Brut Nature is presented as a late release, indicating additional maturation before it reached the market. Brut Nature denotes a very dry style with no, or only a negligible, dosage. Specific vineyard sites, harvesting methods and vinification details are not provided.
Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C, with oysters, shellfish, lightly smoked fish or crisp, savoury snacks. Its dry profile also works well with fresh goat’s cheese and other mild, creamy cheeses. Decanting is not generally needed; pour gently into a tulip-shaped glass to let the aromas open.
Producer
Griesel & Compagnie is based in Bensheim in the Hessische Bergstraße, a small wine region in southwestern Germany. The producer is known for its focus on traditional-method sparkling wines, helping raise the profile of German Sekt from the region. Further details about the producer’s history and specific achievements are not available here.
