Jonas Dostert Rochus #21

Vintage: 2021

Origin: Mosel, Germany

Grapes: Chardonnay, Elbling

Alcohol: 12%

This refined Crémant is an equal blend of Chardonnay and Elbling from the cool 2021 vintage. Fermented in used oak and aged on its lees for 25 months, it was disgorged as a Brut Nature with no added sugar and minimal sulphur. The result is a precise, "vinous" sparkling wine that feels light and airy on the palate while maintaining a serious, structured character.

On the nose, expect a mix of green apple, pear, and lime, complemented by savoury sage and a hint of biscuit from the extended ageing. The palate is subtly creamy yet racy, balancing the floral notes of the Elbling with a multi-layered, elegant finish. It’s an exceptionally clean and drinkable Sekt that bridges the gap between traditional craftsmanship and modern low-intervention winemaking.
