The Streit family, who founded Sekthaus Griesel in Bensheim on the Hessische Bergstraße in 2013, owes this to their courage and their instinct to bring Niko Brandner on board for Griesel Sekt. Although the young cellar master Niko Brandner had studied viticulture and apprenticed with Volker Raumland, he was still a career changer who gave up his banking job to move from the financial world to the world of enjoyment. He became the direct operations manager at Sekthaus Griesel, and is therefore responsible for both cultivating the 7.5 hectares of vineyards (now 14 hectares) and for developing the grapes into wine or sparkling wine. He focused all his attention on producing something truly special, and it was so good in the very first vintage that Spiegel Online wrote about him in December 2016: \"His distinctive sparkling wines from Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Riesling represent the new German sparkling wine class.\" In 2019, Griesel Sekt was named \"Sparkling Wine Producer of the Year\" at the German Sekt Award.

As in Champagne, Niko Brandner also knows the importance of gentle pressing, because the fewer tannins and wax from the berry skins that get into the must, the finer and longer-lasting the perlage in the sparkling wine can later be. Only about 50% of the juice present in the berries is pressed off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the cellar, Niko Brandner gives things time, so the grapes are allowed to ferment spontaneously and undergo malolactic fermentation, in which the malic acid in the wine is converted into the milder lactic acid, which gives the wine a special mouthfeel and creaminess. Cellar master Brandner combines large and small stainless steel (76%) and wooden (24% barrique) barrels for aging, which gives the sparkling wine more complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA year later, in July 2021, the Chardonnay is bottled unfiltered and unfined and dosed with the tirage to trigger the second fermentation in the bottle. Now it is allowed to rest and mature for another 34 months on the fine lees in the cellar built in 1904. It is regularly riddles, and the bottles are increasingly turned upside down until, at the very end during disgorgement (June\/2024), the yeast plug is removed from the bottle, and the Griesel Sekt Pinot Blanc Prestige goes on sale without the addition of dosage and without the addition of sulfur. 7.2g\/l acidity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSparkling wine with time and enjoyment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Griesel Sekt of the Prestige classification is produced using traditional bottle fermentation.
