Sekt, simply means sparkling in German. Most people think Sekt is always Riesling but other grapes can be used. However, it can be a bit rare to find one crafted from Chardonnay. Terrific sparkling at an amazing value.

it is rare to find a sekt made from Chardonnay, and this is the first we’ve discovered. We love that uniqueness and that it drinks so well. This Blanc de Blancs brings bright citrus, green apple, and floral aromas. The palate balances freshness with hints of cream and toast from aging, along with flavors of orchard fruits, lemon zest, and a crisp minerality. Each sip is vibrant, refreshing, and leaves you ready for another.

Have a hard-to-pair dish? Something smoked, extra rich, or a little spicy? This Sekt is perfect for those and more. Meaty fish like salmon or swordfish, briny shellfish, or smoked trout. Rich meats with creamy or heavier sauces are a fit, as are mushroom dishes and creamy cheeses. Asian take-out with a little spice, a good Netflix show, and this Sekt make for a great evening.
