What it pairs with

  • Rivertrout with almonds

  • Herb-crusted goat cheese
    Medium body and high acidity balance a tangy, herbed cheese.

History

Berghaupten's gneiss bedrock gives this village Riesling a different mineral signature than the granite-soil Zell-Weierbach bottling; both are part of the estate's geology-forward village range.
