What it pairs with
-
Poached trout in herb broth
Floral and herbal aromas in both the dish and wine create an elegant harmony. -
Ricotta ravioli with sage butter
Floral aromatics lift the light pasta; the wine's acidity cuts through the butter. -
Fresh goat's cheese salad
Apricot and citrus in the wine complement the tangy, fresh cheese and vinaigrette.
History
The Oberhauser Ried sits at higher elevation on the Loiben slope, producing Riesling with more delicate floral character compared to the primary-rock intensity of the Kellerberg and Steinertal sites.
- 1994 — First Oberhauser Riesling Smaragd bottled as a standalone single-Ried cuvée
