In the glass
What it pairs with
-
Roquefort on walnut bread
Honeyed sweetness tames the salty blue funk in a classic sweet-and-salty match. -
Seared foie gras
Botrytis sweetness and cutting acidity balance the rich liver without cloying. -
Apricot and almond tart
Late-harvest stone-fruit notes mirror the dessert while acidity keeps it fresh.
History
One of the world's most coveted sweet Rieslings: botrytis-laced Scharzhofberg Auslese of extraordinary concentration, acidity and near-immortal cellar life.
