Food Matching Note:
This filigree light white wine is delicious on its own or as an aperitif with salty almonds as a counterpoint to the sweetness. Great also with salads with some fruitiness; try with sweet potato and grapefruit. The sweetness also complements crustaceans perfectly; prawn and lemon zest quiche is another fantastic match.
Tasting Note:
This is classic Mosel Riesling with a fresh lemony fragrance on the nose. In the palate there is an amazingly complex balance of many different factors - fresh acidity and off-dry sweetness - slate driven mineral texture and low alcohol - fresh fruit and a deep oily complexity. Poise and depth.
Vinification Note:
This wine is from the famous Juffer vineyard which is on a bend in the river with perfect south facing exposure and iron-rich heat retaining slate. The vines are trained in the traditional Mosel manner with two shoots tied to a single stake, forming a heart pattern. Harvest is strictly by hand on the extremely steep slopes. The grapes are brought to the winery in small containers and gently de-stemmed, crushed and pressed. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks.
