Munster
Local tradition French Wikipedia says Munster goes with Riesling, though above all with Gewurztraminer. A dry Riesling's acidity cuts the creamy paste and the pungency of the washed rind without adding sweetness.
Bargkass
Our pick Bargkass is mild and low in salt, tasting of hay and fresh grass. A dry Riesling's acidity lifts the supple, melting paste without covering its gentle summer-pasture flavour.
How to serve Weinbach Schlossberg Riesling L Inedit
Allow 5 minutes from open to pour.
- Open and pour. Open and pour directly. No decanting required for this style.
- Serve at 8-10°C. Cellar temperature (8-10°C) is the band for this style. Warmer pushes alcohol forward; colder dampens aromatics.
- Glassware. Use a smaller all-purpose white glass: the bowl shape rewards the wine's structure.
- Pair with. Turbot in beurre blanc, Lobster ragout, Aged Gruyere. Match the wine's structure to the dish's fat and salt.
