Rieslaner (Sylvaner x Riesling) is a Pfalz speciality; Muller-Catoir is widely regarded as the variety's leading ambassador for sweet Pradikat wines from the Mussbacher Eselshaut and Haardter Burgergarten.
Structurally full-bodied, racy acidity with a long finish. Muller-Catoir's late-harvest Rieslaner Auslese from the Mussbacher Eselshaut: candied apricot, honey, racy slate acidity and a profoundly long close.
Drink 8 to 50 from vintage. Young vintages benefit from 30-90 minutes of decanting; mature bottles should be handled carefully for sediment.
Apricot tart is the canonical pairing; Roquefort with walnuts is the other strong match. The wine's apricot core lines up directly with the stone-fruit pastry.
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 Rieslaner. The wine is classified as VDP.Grosse Lage Pfalz.
