Winemaker Notes
Finely matured yeast aromas are teased with apricot and peach and a suggestion of flinty steeliness; aged to perfection, uncompromisingly dry, with an elegant body, brilliant fruit and a long lingering finish.
A perfect aperitif! A lovely complement to shellfish, freshwater fish and poultry, too.

James Suckling
An extremely creamy and subtle sparkling riesling with a very long, super-elegant finish and a ton of salty minerals at the bone-dry finish.

Wine Spectator
This features a seductive mousse gently coating the palate, with acidity that runs through, pumping vibrancy into notes of lemon curd, brioche, cardamom and vanilla extract. Shows good focus and persistence, with a long, mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2031.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Disgorged in February 2016 as Brut Nature, the 2008 Riesling Sekt Goldloch offers a very subtle and complex bouquet of ripe and matured fruit aromas along with brioche flavors. Pure, fresh and complex on the palate, with the gorgeous taste of matured Riesling, this is a very elegant, straight and salty mineral Brut nature with prominent acidity, nice grip and tension. A classic!
Representing the topmost expression of a Champagne house, a vintage Champagne is one made from the produce of a single, superior harvest year. Vintage Champagnes account for a mere 5% of total Champagne production and are produced about three times in a decade. Champagne is typically made as a blend of multiple years in order to preserve the house style; these will have non-vintage, or simply, NV on the label. The term, "vintage," as it applies to all wine, simply means a single harvest year.
