Production Details Fruit came from various old Saar vineyards, some not subjected to land consolidation, with vines 60–80 years old and occasional ungrafted Riesling vines. The entirely healthy, hand-selected fruit was gently crushed, macerated on the skins for several hours, then fermented slowly and cool using spontaneous fermentation. Gentle maturation in large wooden casks and a long period on the lees followed.
Food Pairing Fresh, spicy dishes such as skrei fillet in coconut-lime broth with roast potatoes and spinach; turkey steaks with Mediterranean oven-roasted vegetables; or orange-and-fennel salad with fried prawns. Decant and serve from a large glass.
