"Thomas Hansen farms five acres of vines in Bernkastel, 90 percent riesling and ten percent pinot noir. His sparkling wine, bottle-fermented and left on the lees for a year, is elegant in its fine bubble and sleek in its flavor, with gently earthy, apple notes shaped by riesling acidity and Mosel minerality. It ends clean and fresh, a sparkling wine worthy of a seafood dinner."

Go To Hansen Lauer Sekt Riesling Brut

"Exuberantly floral, with notes of honeysuckle and orange blossom, yet not at all cloying or perfumy, this sparkler showcases all the delicacy and verve you expect from a Mosel Riesling. Softly effervescent, it's dry and spry on the palate, with an exceptionally long, peach-tinged finish. — Anna Lee Iijima"

Go To Hansen Lauer Sekt Riesling Brut

"A heady bouquet of orange blossoms opens this lithe, vivaciously sparkling Riesling. Delicately moussed, it's elegant and spry on the palate with a shock of lemon-lime acidity that highlights luscious flavors of peach, apricot, honey and blossom. Lingers long on the finish with a delicate crushed-stone minerality. — Anna Lee Iijima"
