Lena Macht Sekt, EPOS 2019

Super rare, super refined, super powerful - this is trademark Lena Macht Sekt taken to the next level and proves that German Sekt (in Lena's truly special hands) can easily compete with, and outperform, the finest prestige and grower Champagnes. Made from 100% Chardonnay from Lena's best plots from the stellar 2019 vintage, with lees ageing for five years, zero dosage and a minuscule run of 1,373 bottles produced. Prepare to reevaluate everything you thought you knew about German sparkling wine. Electric, laser like, razor etched acidity combined with broad shouldered, layered, autolytic power. Pithy, limestone textures mingle with flinty gun smoke. Lemon curd, pistachio and green apple caramel brittle with a lingering dried ginger baking spice that you only get with the patience of ageing. Like the very best of Grower Champagne’s limited releases – hairs stand on end, Angels sing in the distance, and you reach for another glass.
