Enno Lippold spent years with the historic house of Deinhard before buying vines of his own in Ürzig, where the bulk of his holdings sit in the Würzgarten on red slate under a cover of volcanic rhyolite. His Sparkling Moselle is a deliberate revival of a category that was famous the world over before the First World War. Selected Mosel Riesling from a single vintage matures for at least 36 months in cask and bottle before release. It pours with lemon, lime, and grapefruit, a bite of green apple, a faint honeyed richness, and a fine, lively bead before finishing dry and mineral. Sparkling Moselle once stood level with Champagne; one glass goes a long way toward explaining why.
