The Kupfergrube Riesling Sekt Extra Brut Auction Wine 2017 from Gut Hermannsberg is an exceptional sparkling wine that celebrates the fine art of sparkling winemaking combined with the unique terroir of the Kupfergrube vineyard. The Kupfergrube is one of the most outstanding vineyards in the Nahe region, known for its steep slopes and volcanic soil, which lends the wines a distinctive minerality and complexity.

The 2017 sparkling wine boasts a brilliant, radiant color and reveals a fascinating array of aromas on the nose, including ripe citrus fruits, green apple, white blossoms, and delicate yeast notes derived from prolonged contact with the yeast. On the palate, the sparkling wine is incredibly precise and clear, with a lively, almost electrifying acidity that perfectly balances the finely integrated residual sweetness. The perlage is extremely fine and foams elegantly in the glass, lending the sparkling wine an additional dimension of freshness and lightness. The finish is long and mineral, with a salty, almost smoky note that underscores this wine's origins.

A remarkable sparkling wine that offers impressive complexity both in its youth and with some maturity. The Kupfergrube Riesling Sekt Extra Brut is not only a delight for connoisseurs, but also a true rarity at VDP auctions—a magnificent example of the fine art of German sparkling wine production.
