The sekt Blanc de Noirs, vintage 2012 from the winery Wein- und Sektgut Wilhelmshof has been rated in 2019 with 93 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the region Pfalz (Palatinate) in Germany.
Multi-layered aromas of small red berries and a Champagne-like mix of grape and lees. Red apple and a licorice spice. Light mousse, subtle acidity, round and rich, with an almost creamy mid-palate that seems sustained by weight and savouriness rather than nerve and carbonation. Spicy, slightly salty finish. The eponymous "patina" is only visible in elements - still a youthful Sekt with plenty of potential to develop aromatically.
More about the tastingA complex aroma: small red berries, champagne-like yeast notes, red apple, and liquorice spice. On the palate, a gentle mousse and subtle acidity, round and rich, with an almost creamy mid-palate, carried more by substance and spice than by nerve and carbon dioxide. With a spicy, slightly saline finish. The eponymous "Patina" is only beginning to emerge: a still youthful-looking Sekt with great aromatic potential.
