Isabel Strauch-Weissbach and Tim Weissbach
produce consistently good to excellent
German Sekts from their 25 hectares
of vines. What we especially appreciate and
like is their restrained use of dosage. This way,
their Sekts remain wonderfully fresh and concentrated,
endowed with crystalline acidity
and fruit. Their “Vieilles Vignes brut” is once
again outstanding, with its power and elegance
it can easily go with food. We also like
the finely-balanced rosé. Yet again a most successful
range of wines from this Sekt manufacture
in Osthofen.
