Production of Sekt Riesling Extra Brut – Weingut Eymann The grapes for Sekt Riesling Extra Brut - Weingut Eymann come from biodynamically cultivated sites around Gönnheim in the Pfalz. The climate is characterized by warm days and cool nights, which gives the Riesling ripe aromatics combined with lively acidity. The soils consist of limestone, loess, sand and some gravelly sections. This diversity transports a delicate saline, mineral note directly into the glass. Harvesting is done carefully by hand, grape by grape, directly in the vineyard. Only absolutely ripe and aromatically multi-layered Riesling grapes make it into the cellar. Strict selection ensures that only the best fruit goes into the base wines for this sparkling wine. Gentle transport of the grapes avoids unnecessary oxidation and preserves the clear, precise fruit. In the cellar, gentle whole-cluster pressing follows, with only the finest portion of the must being used for the later sparkling wine. After alcoholic fermentation, a taut, mineral base wine is created. This then goes into large wooden casks with a capacity of around 5000 liters, where structure, creaminess and aromatic depth further develop. The combination of wood and Riesling lends the wine subtle spice and fine creaminess without overpowering the freshness. The second fermentation traditionally takes place in the bottle. Here, the sparkling wine matures for about 30 months on the lees. This long maturation time produces fine brioche and yeast aromas, creamy texture and an especially delicate perlage. After disgorgement and minimalist dosage, the sparkling wine presents itself in a purist extra brut style that clearly brings the character of the grape variety and terroir to the fore. The winemaker’s style is uncompromisingly clear: artisanal precision, a biodynamic approach, reduced design and a consistent focus on origin and varietal typicity.
