Drink 5 to 18 from vintage. Young vintages benefit from 30-90 minutes of decanting; mature bottles should be handled carefully for sediment.
Wurstmarkt Bratwurst is the canonical pairing; Schweinshaxe is the other strong match. Bad Durkheim's own Wurstmarkt sausage finds a peer in dry Pfalz Riesling.
No: the producer uses traditional animal-derived fining agents (typically egg whites or isinglass) during clarification, so the wine is not vegan.
The blend is Riesling. The wine is classified as VDP.Grosse Lage Pfalz.
