Tasting Notes:
This blend from Saarburg and Ockfen sites offers an exceptionally ripe set of flavors for an estate Riesling. Baked apple, cherry and vanilla aromas set the tone for what comes on the palate. This is generous in fruit flavors and nearly fat in texture while remaining juicy, thirst quenching and persistently slate-saturated with refreshing acidity.

Food Affinity: A great aromatic wine suitable as an aperitif and as a wonderful companion to most light flavored dishes such as seafood, salads and light pasta. Due to its finely structured acidity, it works as an aromatic palate cleanser which makes it such a versatile food companion.
