Butterfly Riesling Feinherb

In the glass

What it pairs with

• Sichuan mapo tofu
  The wine's sweetness and high acidity buffer the numbing chilli oil and lift the fermented-bean savour.
• Mosel river trout meuniere
  Bright slate-driven acidity and citrus mirror the brown-butter and lemon of the local fish.
• Pad Thai
  Gentle off-dry sweetness and acidity cool the chilli and lift the tamarind.
