Located in the heart of Trier, this is a winery with a social mission--since 1804, thanks to Napoleon. Originally founded to help fund St. Jakobs Hospital, the winery still partly finances nursing home and hospital care. The sekt brut is a bottle-fermented sparkling Riesling. From Mosel Fine Wines: "90 points. The 2014er Riesling Sekt Extra Brut was kept on its lees for 15-18 months and bottled without any dosage. A gorgeous nose of spices, pineapple, mint, anise and herbs leads to a superb playful Sekt on the palate with nice fresh fruits including yellow peach and a touch of apricot. The mousse is already gorgeously well integrated and the finish is full of fine spices and elegance. This is a superb effort! Now-2022." (10/2016)
