ABOUT

Gustav Klimt Adele Blanc de Blancs Brut produced from 100% Chardonnay, is hand-harvested from growers in Burgenland. Alcoholic fermentation with Champagne yeasts in stainless steel tanks precedes second fermentation in bottle and forty-eight months en tirage. Riddling is by gyropalette, and the dosage is with local sweet wine. The portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer on the label is from Klimt's golden phase. The painting lives today at the Neue Galerie in New York

TASTING NOTES

Szigeti seeks to produce wines in a fresh style with clear varietal expression. Gustav Klimt Adele Blanc de Blancs Brut shows notes of green apple and citrus with salty minerality and a subtle toastiness from aging forty-eight months on the lees. The wine crisp and clean tasting on the palate with a lingering dry finish.

FOOD PAIRING

This Blanc de Blancs Brut will accent simply prepared fish and shellfish like the way a squeeze of lemon might. The citrus character of this wine will highlight the brininess of raw oysters, sushi, or grilled prawns while its acidity and texture perfectly compliment grilled halibut with lemon beurre blanc.
