Sektkellerei Ohlig

It is Sektkelleri Ohlig’s longstanding belief that a cuvee is more balanced than the individual parts it is made of; the special sensory experiences owed to their skilled cellar master and their continued precision in due to the most advanced technology possible to develop top quality cuvees. The name ‘Latitude 50’ refers literally to the latitude at which the vines are grown at, geographically the northernmost possible wine growing area. The label simplifies this for consumers and delivers continued enjoyment for any day whether or not it is a celebration. - Savio Soares

About the Winemaker

Sektkellerei Ohlig

Since 1919, Sektkellerei Ohlig, founded by Anton Ohlig in Rudesheim am Rhein and later joined by the Kloss family, has upheld a tradition of crafting high-quality sparkling wines using the traditional method across four generations. Although they don't own vineyards, their close relationship with esteemed winegrowers like Weingut Carl Ehrhard, Weingut Walter Rapp, Weingut Mohr, and Weingut Schlossmuhlenhof allows them to source grapes or wine for their sekt production. Stored for a minimum of nine months in their century-old cellar, their wines undergo riddling and final disgorgement, ensuring premium quality. With a focus on balanced cuvées, Sektkellerei Ohlig relies on their skilled cellar master and advanced technology to develop top-quality wines.
