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. -
On its own as a meditation wine
Liqueur-like concentration and electric acidity make it a finish in itself.
History
The most expensive young white wine on earth in great vintages: a tiny-production, intensely botrytised Scharzhofberg TBA of liqueur-like concentration and electric acidity.
