Production Details Fruit came from classic Mosel vineyard sites. The October-harvested, completely healthy grapes were gently milled and macerated on their aroma- and mineral-rich skins for several hours. The must was then fermented slowly and coolly by spontaneous fermentation, followed by gentle maturation in wooden cask and stainless-steel tank with long lees contact.
Tasting Notes Medium lemon yellow; white fruits, apple, pineapple and floral nuances; balanced, elegant and finely structured, with delicate tannin, a full body and a subtly salty finish.
Food Pairing Suitable as an aperitif or table wine and with light starters, salads and asparagus dishes; the producer specifically suggests goat cheese with apple vinaigrette, glass-noodle salad with prawns, and beetroot carpaccio with pear, rocket and walnuts.
