In the glass
What it pairs with
-
Fines de claire oysters
Dry, mineral Saar Riesling and saline slate make a textbook briny match. -
Grilled langoustine
Cool taut salinity flatters the sweet shellfish. -
Mosel river trout meuniere
Bright slate-driven acidity and citrus mirror the brown-butter and lemon of the local fish.
History
A dry Grosses Gewachs from the blue-slate Blaufusser Lay terraces: cool, taut and saline with a tense, mineral-driven structure that needs cellaring to unfold.
