2017 | Szigeti | Adele Blanc de Blancs Brut

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. Crisp and clean tasting on the palate with a lingering dry finish.

Producer Information

Szigeti (pronounced ZIG-it-ee) was part of the new wave of Austrian sparkling wine producers in the 1990s who focused on high-quality, traditional method Sekt. The company began in 1991 when brothers Peter and Norbert Szigeti took over the family business in the village of Gols. Norbert trained in enology and worked in a large sparkling wine firm in Vienna, while Peter completed hotel management school and worked both in Austria and abroad. Peter bought out his brother's shares in 2018 and is now the sole proprietor of the winery. Szigeti operates as a négociant, buying fruit from contracted growers and owning no vineyards. A broad range of wines are produced, all by the traditional method, and all made in fresh style with clear varietal expression. Szigeti produces wine from contracted growers in Burgenland and Niederösterreich and works closely with their partners to obtain grapes explicitly grown to produce quality sparkling wine. Varietal wines, such as the Grüner Veltliner Brut, are sourced from multiple vineyards in the Burgenland region, while specialty bottlings, like the “Adele” Blanc de Blancs, come from more defined areas. At the top of their production is a series of Sekt sourced from specific terroirs called “Terroir Exclusiv.” These include wines like the Riesling Spitzer Graben Brut, a sparkling wine that reflects its Wachau origin. The designation "Österreichischer Sekt g.U." (Austrian Sekt with Protected Designation of Origin) applies to the entire production.
