SM SektManufaktur GmbH is a small, specialised sparkling wine producer based in Waldlaubersheim and is considered the only pure sparkling wine producer on the Nahe. Since its foundation in 2015, the two owners, Matthias Schreml and Kai Maschtschenko, who was previously operations manager at Sekthaus Raumland, have been jointly responsible for producing high-quality sparkling wines.
The sparkling wine estate is a member of the Verband traditioneller Sektmacher (an association of traditional sparkling wine producers), which is committed to uncompromising artisanal sparkling wine production.
The base wines for the sparkling wines from selected vineyard sites mature in barrique barrels or large wooden barrels with a capacity of up to 2500 litres. After tirage, classic bottle fermentation takes place. The sparkling wines typically have between 12 and 42 months to mature on the lees. Whether you are looking for hints of Champagne, Franciacorta, or simply a more fruity German style, SM offers a wide range of styles.

| 🯅 | The rating of the wine is based on a single taster. The taster is named in the context of the rating. The tasting was either open or blind. In case of a blind tasting, it is explicitly labelled as such. |
| 🯅🯅 | The rating of the wine is based on two tasters. The tasters are named in the context of the rating. The tasting was carried out according to the four-eyes principle, in which both tasters agree on a joint rating. |
| 🯅🯅🯅 | The rating is based on a tasting by our jury and indicates the Mean value calculated by us from the individual ratings of the tasters. Our mean value is based on the median. |
| ⚖ | The wine was evaluated in a blind tasting. We have strict rules for blind tastings. The tasters do not receive any information that would allow them to identify the wines. The tasters are only given access to further information that goes beyond the subject matter if it is absolutely necessary for understanding the wines. |
| 🕓 | We only had limited time to taste the wine - typically during an open tasting event, such as a wine fair. It was therefore not possible to observe the development of the wine in the glass over a longer period of time. The informative value of our rating may therefore be limited under certain circumstances. |
| ⛬ | The wine was tasted as a barrel sample or before an official test number (Amtliche Prüfungsnummer or Staatliche Prüfnummer) was issued. We only accept samples of unfilled wines in exceptional cases, and then only if we can assume sufficient stability in the bottle for a period of at least three months. |
| ▲ | During our tasting, the wine showed conspicuous sensory characteristics. This does not necessarily have to be a wine fault. We categorise the quality and quantity of the abnormality and include it in the rating. Wine faults such as cork taint or an atypical ageing generally lead to a complete rejection. |
| Tastings that refer to the same bottle of a wine are visually summarised by a dotted line. |
