In the glass
What it pairs with
-
Apricot and almond tart
Late-harvest stone-fruit notes mirror the dessert while acidity keeps it fresh. -
Creme brulee
Frozen-grape sweetness and acidity cut the custard. -
Roquefort on walnut bread
Honeyed sweetness tames the salty blue funk in a classic sweet-and-salty match.
History
A rare Eiswein from the Mulheimer Helenenkloster, a site Richter reserves for ice wine: piercing acidity carrying intense concentrated frozen-grape sweetness.
