Structurally medium-bodied, medium tannins, high acidity with a long finish. Biodynamic dry Grosses Gewachs Spatburgunder from the Konigsbacher Idig: pure red cherry, rose petal, fine tannin and savoury length.
Drink 7 to 25 from vintage. Young vintages benefit from 30-90 minutes of decanting; mature bottles should be handled carefully for sediment.
Sauerbraten is the canonical pairing; Roast duck breast is the other strong match. Fine red Pinot Noir tannin and red cherry flatter the marinated raisin-and-vinegar Rhineland pot-roast.
