This finely effervescent Riesling Sekt is straightforward and precise, convincing with fresh citrus aromas and a long-lasting perlage. It has a fragrance of pome fruits like yellow apple and stone fruits like ripe peach, with subtle brioche notes completing the aroma profile. On the palate, the organic Sekt displays sparkling lightness, typical tropical sandstone minerality revealing its origin, and an elegant structure. The Andres \u0026amp; Mugler Organic Riesling Sekt is produced using the traditional method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRiesling Brut – Inner Qualities\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12.0 % vol Alcohol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8.0 g\/l Acidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5.8 g\/l Residual sugar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrganic Sekt – How the Riesling Brut is Made\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Riesling grapes for this Andres Mugler Organic Sekt grow on mineral-rich variegated sandstone soils in the Pfalz. These soils reduce the sharp acidity of the Riesling, rounding it out with a ripe fruit expression. The cool winds from the nearby Pfälzer Wald ensure a good acid structure in the early-harvested base wines, which is essential for good Sekt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quality philosophy of the Andres Mugler Sekt manufactory begins with meticulous soil cultivation and consistent greening. The vineyard work of Michael Andres and Steffen Mugler is pure craftsmanship, characterized by a great love for biodynamics. The rhythm of nature significantly dictates their actions. For both, healthy soil, intact flora and fauna, and thus vigorous vines, are prerequisites for a healthy circular economy. They hand-harvest all biodynamically farmed vineyards to bring the grapes undamaged to the Sekt estate in Ruppertsberg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere, the Riesling grapes are then gently pressed, because the gentler the pressing, the fewer tannins and wax from the berry skins get into the must, and the finer and more long-lasting the perlage in the Sekt will be later. Only about two-thirds of the juice present in the berries is pressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the cellar, Steffen Mugler and Michael Andres give their Sekts time. The Riesling grapes are allowed to ferment slowly and undergo malolactic fermentation, where the malic acid in the wine is converted into milder lactic acid, giving the base wine a special mouthfeel and creaminess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe following year, the Riesling is bottled and tirage added to initiate the second fermentation in the bottle. The dosage is between 3 and 5g\/l. Now it is allowed to rest and mature on the fine lees for another year, being regularly riddléd and the bottles gradually inverted until, at the very end, the yeast plug is manually removed from the bottle during disgorgement, and the Andres Mugler Riesling Sekt then rests in the bottle until \"it's good when it comes out,\" as Steffen emphasizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAndres \u0026amp; Mugler – The Sekt Makers\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Andres \u0026amp; Mugler Sekt manufactory in Ruppertsberg was founded in 1989 by two friends and Pfalz winemakers, Michael Andres and Steffen Mugler. In the early years, base wines were purchased and made into Sekt, but since 1993, only grapes from their own cultivation have been used for Sekt production. The Sekt estate practices biodynamic viticulture on a total of 17 hectares (7 hectares for Michael and 10 hectares for Steffen), cultivating Riesling and white Burgundy varieties like Weißburgunder, Auxerrois, and Chardonnay, as well as Schwarzriesling (Pinot Meunier) and Spätburgunder in the best vineyards of the Pfalz. From these grapes, German Sekt with an unmistakable, elegant style and organic quality is produced using the traditional method. Sparkling wine from Germany at the highest level. In 2019, two Sekts were rated very good for the first time at the Meininger German Sekt Prize, followed in 2021 by the award from Eichelmann Deutschlands Weine as the best Sekt collection of 2021. Quite impressive. The Andres \u0026amp; Mugler Sekt estate is a member of \"die Sektmacher,\" the association of traditional Sekt producers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrganic Control Body DE-ÖKO-039 – German Agriculture\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andres \u0026 Mugler","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":53073967841614,"sku":"020AMS0001","price":17.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/1124\/5646\/files\/andres-mugler-riesling-sekt-brut-2021.jpg?v=1751011265","url":"https:\/\/nurgutes.de\/en\/products\/andres-mugler-riesling-sekt-brut-2021","provider":"nur Gutes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
