In the glass
What it pairs with
-
Seared foie gras
Botrytis sweetness and cutting acidity balance the rich liver without cloying. -
Peking duck
Concentrated sweet fruit and acidity match the lacquered skin and hoisin. -
Sichuan mapo tofu
The wine's sweetness and high acidity buffer the numbing chilli oil and lift the fermented-bean savour.
History
A profound Saar Spatlese from the Scharzhofberg: concentrated yet ethereal, with piercing acidity carrying ripe fruit and slate over a very long life.
