Barth Ultra 2015

A graceful and elegant sparkling wine with a clear focus on the Rhine region, primarily Rheingau, Germany, and the Alsace, France, showcasing a harmonious equilibrium of citrus, apple, and strawberry notes, meanwhile elegant yeasty hints add complexity and structure. The wine's clean acidity and classy smoothness make it a delightful accompaniment to a variety of occasions, and its freshness and age-worthiness make it a compelling highlight for those expecting a sophisticated and long-lasting wine.

Substantial and balanced sparkling wine with a robust presence, its sophisticated perfume is outlined by a seamless blend of sweet and tart notes, showcasing apple, gooseberry, and pear, which are expertly polished and augmented by the light weight of vanilla and verbena.

Decent entry-level alternative to Champagne or Franciacorta, Pinot noir-based Sekt is a solid choice, but may not quite reach the same level of quality as its more expensive counterparts.
