What it pairs with

  • Seared foie gras
    Botrytis sweetness and cutting acidity balance the rich liver without cloying.
  • Sichuan mapo tofu
    The wine's sweetness and high acidity buffer the numbing chilli oil and lift the fermented-bean savour.
  • Glazed duck
    Concentrated fruit and racy acidity match the lacquered poultry.

History

A concentrated fruity-style Spatlese from the Saarburger Rausch, with ripe citrus and stone fruit held in piercing Saar acidity for the long cellar.
