Hild Elbling Sekt

Hild's "regular" Elbling is just about one of the best Elblings from the Upper Mosel - it is direct and fine, with such a toothsome bite, a jamboree-palate of lemon pith and herbs that is both coating and saturating. There is lift here, serious lift, serious acidity, a tartness that pulls the mouth into all sorts of joyous contortions. This is so much fun and if it weren't for the density on the palate, the extract, you'd think this was only a joy to drink - that it was only the first bottle on the table always empty. It's more.
