This sparkling white wine is a traditional method riesling Sekt crafted by Gernot Kollmann at the historic Immich-Batterieberg estate. The fruit is grown organically on the steep, quartz-veined slate terraces of the Mosel valley, which naturally concentrates minerals. The base wine undergoes a low-intervention spontaneous fermentation with native wild yeasts in neutral wood foudres and tanks. It undergoes a secondary bottle fermentation and matures extensively on its lees before an Extra Brut disgorgement.

It pours a pale gold color with a fine, persistent stream of bubbles, focusing entirely on mineral purity. The nose opens with clean aromatics of limey citrus, fresh pears, and a delicate touch of white tea. On the palate, a lightweight and crisp frame delivers mouthwatering and palate-cleansing acidity that slices through the core. Subtle notes of wet stone add depth across the textured mouthfeel without heavy wood flavor dominance. It concludes bone-dry.

Weingut Immich-Batterieberg is one of the historic estates of the Mosel, named for the Batterieberg vineyard that was created in the nineteenth century by blasting into the steep slate hillside. Today, under Gernot Kollmann, the domaine has regained a reputation for dry and off-dry Rieslings of remarkable precision. The vineyards include Batterieberg, Steffensberg, Ellergrub and Zeppwingert, many with old ungrafted vines. Fermentations are spontaneous, aging is slow and the wines are allowed to find their own balance. They are mineral, herbal and quietly powerful, carrying the Mosel's slate intensity without sweetness as a crutch.
