standout oldest Sekt production in Pfalz

about located in Bad Dürkheim, with 25ha of vineyards. Founding member of the VDP, with Johann Fitz in charge since 2007. The first sparkling wine was made in 1837 by Johannes Fitz who had lived in Champagne at a time of political unrest in what is now Germany. The winery established a tradition for sparkling wine which continues. The wide bottles with dramatically German labels are hard to miss.

wines tasted

Herrenberg Riesling Brut Nature 2019 (€22)

It may have been the bottle tasted, but the overall impression was a creamy, cheesy, and quite funky wine, especially on the palate. Would like to revisit.
