Hild Elbling Sekt Brut NV

Profile & Story

Sekt house run by Matthias Hild and his son Jonas, who farm five hectares of Elbling on steep, terraced hillsides around Wincheringen in the Obermosel -- limestone and chalk soils, unlike the slate that defines the rest of the Mosel. The base wine undergoes a 21-day cold fermentation and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel, then rests on its lees for 9-18 months before disgorgement; dosage runs 10-12 g/L.
