What it pairs with

  • Fines de claire oysters
    Dry, mineral Saar Riesling and saline slate make a textbook briny match.
  • Mosel river trout meuniere
    Bright slate-driven acidity and citrus mirror the brown-butter and lemon of the local fish.
  • Lemon sole
    Cool herb-citrus character lifts the delicate fish.

History

A dry Grosses Gewachs from the Ockfener Bockstein: cool, herb-and-citrus driven and piercingly mineral in the classic Saar mould.
