Saarburger Rausch Riesling Kabinett

In the glass

What it pairs with

• Spicy Thai green curry
  Off-dry Kabinett's low alcohol and racy acidity cool chilli heat while the residual sweetness flatters lemongrass and coconut.
• Sichuan mapo tofu
  The wine's sweetness and high acidity buffer the numbing chilli oil and lift the fermented-bean savour.
• Fines de claire oysters
  Dry, mineral Saar Riesling and saline slate make a textbook briny match.
