Description
This auction sparkling wine from Kupfergrube impressively demonstrates how serious and terroir-driven German premium sparkling wine can be. The famous volcanic site Kupfergrube in Schlossböckelheim lends the Riesling a distinctive smoky minerality and an exceptional tension that remains clearly in focus even after long lees aging.
The 2017 vintage brings a perfect balance of ripeness and precision. The sparkling wine appears incredibly profound and at the same time crystal clear, with fine, almost creamy perlage and a vibrant salty freshness. Instead of opulent yeast aromas, the Extra Brut clearly focuses on structure, minerality, and elegance. It is precisely this combination of volcanic tension and fine ripeness that makes it so exceptional.
As an auction sparkling wine, it comes from particularly selected batches and accordingly shows more concentration and complexity. The long aging on the lees provides additional calm and depth without losing the wine's energy. This makes the Kupfergrube Extra Brut simultaneously monumental and incredibly precise – a sparkling wine with great length, smoky minerality, and exceptional aging potential.
