Poysdorf lies on the same line of latitude as Champagne, and the climate is similar. Hugl was anxious to take advantage of their resources and produce this Veltliner-Sekt!
This bottle fermented sekt displays a pale golden color with a glint of green. Yellow fruit aromas, dry with a soft, juicy structure and a pleasing streak of minerality. Notes of crisp apple and pear.
Delightful as an aperitif, or pair with Thai cuisine or sushi.
"The faintest hint of honey plays on the nose before heartier, spicier notes of pear kick in. The palate has that same honeyed edge on a really frothy palate with lively bubbles. A lovely fruitiness pervades the midpalate before coming to a lovely and zingy dry and refreshing finish. - Anne KREBIEHL MW"

"Notes of freshly cut pear have a hint of yeast and pepper on the nose. The frothy palate bubbles away with lively foam and delivers lemony freshness on this light-bodied and easygoing dry Sekt. - ANNE KREBIEHL MW"
