Food Matching Note:
Delicious with fish, poultry and veal. Sea scalops, turbot, salmon, Dover sole and wallye-pike are great companions. Great with lobster as well.

Vinification Note:
The grapes are always picked by hand as late as possible in order to achieve maximum ripeness and pressed very gently in a pneumatic press. The juice runs into the cellar by gravity and clarifies naturally prior to fermentation. The juice ferments in stainless steel at controlled temperature for 3-4 weeks. The wine is vinified to complete dryness. It is not oak-aged, the salient characteristics of which are extreme purity and concentrated fruit. Bottling is early to preserve freshness and wines are bottle-aged before leaving the winery. « Cuvée Frédéric Emile » Riesling needs 3 to 5 years to blossom and usually ages minimum 15 years.
