In the glass
What it pairs with
-
Roquefort on walnut bread
Honeyed sweetness tames the salty blue funk in a classic sweet-and-salty match. -
Seared foie gras
Botrytis sweetness and cutting acidity balance the rich liver without cloying. -
Apricot and almond tart
Late-harvest stone-fruit notes mirror the dessert while acidity keeps it fresh.
History
A noble-sweet gold-capsule Auslese from the Wehlener Sonnenuhr: rich, botrytis-laced and concentrated, balanced by piercing blue-slate acidity for the long cellar.
