SEKT TIME!🍾 Do you know what Sekt is? ⬇️ 👉 In German-speaking countries, Sekt refers to sparkling wines, especially when you're talking with novice wine lovers from those regions or even neighboring ones. ☝️However, when discussing specific countries in this region, for a sparkling wine to be called Sekt, there's much more that goes into it. Let’s talk about Austrian Sekt! ❗️Sekt Austria is a protected origin classification with three tiers and strict rules: ✔️Sekt Austria, ✔️Sekt Austria Reserve, and ✔️Sekt Austria Große Reserve. 👌I explained all three tiers in our latest IG Live with Giovanna Vaschetto but today I want to highlight this Brut Rosé Reserve by Weingut Loimer Fred Loimer from that tasting.⬇️ 🥂 This wine holds the ✔️Sekt Austria Reserve classification with very high standards. It is a blend of 60% Zweigelt, 30% Pinot Noir, and 10% St. Laurent from the vineyards of Langenlois and Gumpoldskirchen. 🌿 It’s an organic and biodynamic wine, made using the traditional method. It primarily contains the 2020 vintage (70%) and the 2019 vintage,🍇 with a small amount of reserve wines dating back to 2011. This particular bottle was sealed with the lees in September 2021 and was disgorged in December 2023.🍾 👌 That extended time on the lees gave this sparkling rosé its beautiful buttery, brioche-like flavors, while the Zweigelt🍇 and St. Laurent🍇 provide sweet cooking spices, plums, and raspberry. The Pinot Noir🍇 adds fine structure, high acidity, and a never-ending finish with a fine perlage.🥂 ☝️I highly recommend this Sekt Rosé with pasta in tomato sauce, salads, or a shrimp cocktail. It’s a very food-friendly sparkling wine. It was a true gem and one of my favorite wine crushes this summer season! 😍 🍾 Have you tried Sekt before?🥂 - Like my content?
