How to serve Ruedesheimer Berg Roseneck Riesling

  2. Serve at 10-12°C. Cellar temperature (10-12°C) is the band for this style. Warmer pushes alcohol forward; colder dampens aromatics.
  3. Glassware. Use a medium-sized white-wine glass: the bowl shape rewards the wine's structure.
  4. Pair with. Roast capon with herbs, Pike-perch with chanterelles, Aged Allgau Bergkaese. Match the wine's structure to the dish's fat and salt.
