"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."
