Aroma: sour cherry

Palate: juicy red fruit, a hint of coffee

Bright ruby Erste Lage Spaetburgunder from the Feuerberg, enormously juicy and fruity on the producer's own tasting note, with a hint of coffee.

What it pairs with

  • Roast pork loin
    Medium tannin and juicy fruit balance lean roasted pork.
  • Duck breast with cherry sauce
    The wine's own sour-cherry register mirrors a fruit-based jus.
  • Mushroom risotto
    Earthy risotto flavors sit well against the wine's medium body.

History
