Aroma: sun-kissed peach, musk, smoky flint

Palate: yellow fruit, saline, enormous mineral length

A dry Grosses Gewachs from the steep Winninger Rottgen: sun-kissed peach, musk and smoky flint over copious yellow fruit, with enormous minerality, length and a saline finish.

What it pairs with

  • Roast guinea fowl
    Power, yellow fruit and salinity match the dark poultry.
  • Grilled monkfish
    Smoky flint and minerality echo the charred fish.
  • Mosel river trout meuniere
    Bright slate-driven acidity and citrus mirror the brown-butter and lemon of the local fish.
