If you love drinking Champagne but would like to discover something new, join Shane Jones DipWSET to explore the unique charm of sparkling Sekt from Germany.
Event details
Have you tasted German Sekt before? The country's sparkling wine scene has so much to offer – from traditional method to tank, dry to sweet, Riesling to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. To help you explore the styles, sparkling wine specialist Shane Jones DipWSET has carefully curated a flight of eight incredible German Sekts for you to try at this unique tasting.
Shane will guide you through the various production methods, laws, labelling terms and share tips on the best vintages to look out for. This tasting will shine a spotlight on wines made by leading producers, including those from the prestigious VDP.
You’ll also enjoy some German cheese and charcuterie to pair with the bubbles.
This tasting has been created for anyone who loves sparkling wine or students interested in learning about a style that is lesser-known in the UK.
