Rotschiefer Riesling Kabinett 2016

Saar Valley, Mosel

Download

Named for the iron-rich “red slate” which characterizes the top sites in the Wiltingen Grosse Lagen, this slightly off-dry style is the perfect blend of ripe fruit, invigorating minerality and bright acid. It’s an especially potent partner for spicy and delicate flavors.

Winemaking

The Rotschiefer is aged entirely in stainless steel to showcase it’s freshness, and undergoes spontaneous fermentation.

Tasting Note

Tropical and orchard fruit great the palate, with a burst of perceived sweetness that is quickly moderated by mouthwatering acidity. Tongue-tickling minerality, fades to lemon zest on the finish.

Suggested Food Pairing

This wine lingers, and is paired best with spicy foods, most Asian foods, well-seasoned soups, stir fry, oysters and moldy cheeses.
