2019 Lena Sekt 'Mythos" Brut Nature, Germany
$68.00
The "Mythos" is a selection of the top barrels and can contain all three varieties. The 2019 edition is around 40% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir, and the remainder Schwarzriesling. The exact blend of the "Mythos," however, may change year to year depending on the vintage's strengths and weaknesses. The "Mythos" is, in short, the best of the best. The wine sees additional aging - in this case 42 months (nearly four years) before disgorgement. There is no dosage here.
The "Mythos" is clearly the most resolved of the wines with an ultra-fine perlage, a stunningly integrated midpalate with fantastic complexity and definition. The wine isn't crystalline, exactly, but it seems to somehow refract flavors, to feel both essential and clear, yet also really complicated and nuanced. It it is unquestionably the most mineral of the wines, not aggressively structured but with a serious definition and edge, yet the finish is long and polished and tapers elegantly. This is a ridiculous bottle of sparkling wine.
