Weingut Geierslay Riesling Winzersekt Trocken—The Mosel’s Best-Kept Sparkling Secret Mosel Magic: A 750-Year-Old Winemaking Dynasty's Off-Dry Riesling Sekt, Perfect Provenance! This is a phenomenal opportunity to acquire the exquisite Riesling Winzersekt Trocken from the historic Weingut Geierslay in the Mosel, a sparkling wine that rivals its French counterparts in quality while offering a unique expression of German Riesling terroir. The Pedigree: Seven Centuries of Winemaking Weingut Geierslay is not merely an estate; it is a monument to Mosel history. With its story beginning in 1465, the Kilburg family, now in its 19th generation, has been dedicated to crafting exceptional wines for over 750 years. This Winzersekt (a term signifying a grower's sparkling wine) represents the pinnacle of their expertise. High-Level of Wine: Traditional Quality and Style This is authentic German sparkling wine made to the highest standard: * Traditional Method: The Sekt is produced using the Traditionelle Flaschengärung (Traditional Method), the same rigorous process of secondary fermentation in the bottle used in Champagne. This delivers the fine, persistent bubbles and complex texture expected of world-class fizz. * The Riesling Thrill: Made from 100% Riesling, the wine is defined by the Mosel’s signature high natural acidity, mineral intensity, and refreshing fruit profile. * Style Note: Understanding "Trocken": While "Trocken" translates to "dry," in the world of Sekt, this actually means it is the less-dry/off-dry style when compared to the winery’s "Brut". The Trocken style contains between 17 and 32 grams per liter of residual sugar, offering a beautifully balanced, approachable finish that complements its racy Riesling acidity. The Geierslay estate confirms this version has a slightly higher residual sweetness than their Brut. Impeccable Provenance and Condition The quality of this sparkling wine is assured not only by its producer but by its history since bottling: * Pristine Source: This lot was subject to direct shipment from the Weingut Geierslay estate to our cellars. * Professional Storage: The bottles have been stored impeccably in our OHMS Connoisseur’s Choice professional wine cellar, guaranteeing optimal temperature and humidity conditions since arrival. * Pristine Capsules: The bottles are in excellent visual condition, with the distinctive Copper/Rose Gold foil capsules fully intact, confirming the pristine state of the wine. This is a must-have for any serious collector looking for high-quality, perfectly stored Riesling Sekt with a fascinating history. Good luck with your bidding!
