Yup, we’re going all Teutonic for the month of April with tastings (each in-store and digital), a smashing and stupidly discounted “something however Riesling” combined case of Germanic pleasure and a whopping 10% low cost off all German wines all through the month.

Yup, that is the easy bit – 10% low cost on all German wines all through April – no minimal amount.
Let’s speak about Sekt…..Tasting Eighth-Ninth April in each Livery Avenue and Dovehouse Parade shops.
Okay class, sit down and listen. Now, which nation on the planet do you assume may be the most important shoppers of glowing wine? Allright, provided that that is all about Germany I realise that the reply is blindingly apparent, however it’s stunning nonetheless and the most recent stats that I’ve discovered are much more jaw-dropping: thirsty Germans knock again 50% extra fizz than their nearest rivals, the French.
All this in all probability explains why Sekt is one thing of a rarity on UK cabinets as, to cite the previous chestnut, the Germans actually do preserve most of it for themselves!
As a phrase of warning, an excessive amount of Sekt is mass-produced and never excellent, steadily utilizing grapes which were purchased in from elsewhere in Europe. Thankfully, we now have managed to safe samples of a few wines which we consider characterize the opposite finish of the spectrum and we will be showcasing them on Friday and Saturday April 8th and 9th – simply in time to top off for Easter.
Bibo Runge’s beautiful Provokateur, is a salmon pink Riesling Sekt with the addition of only a splash of an unspecified crimson (it stays a carefully guarded secret) so as to add not simply color but in addition a touch of ripe, crimson fruit character.
Ernie Loosen’s Further Dry Riesling Sekt has a stunning freshness and delicacy to it, coupled with richness and complexity from prolonged lees ageing within the bottle.
