How to serve Odinstal 350 NN Riesling Basalt

Allow 35 minutes from open to pour.

  1. Open and decant. Open 30 minutes before serving and pour into a decanter to aerate.
  2. Serve at 10-12°C. Cellar temperature (10-12°C) is the band for this style. Warmer pushes alcohol forward; colder dampens aromatics.
  3. Glassware. Use a medium-sized white-wine glass: the bowl shape rewards the wine's structure.
  4. Pair with. Pike-perch with brown butter, Spargel with hollandaise. Match the wine's structure to the dish's fat and salt.

Frequently asked about Odinstal 350 NN Riesling Basalt

What does Odinstal 350 NN Riesling Basalt taste like?

Structurally full-bodied, high acidity with a long finish. Demeter-biodynamic dry Riesling from the elevated Odinstal monopole at roughly 300 metres: smoky basalt, citrus drive, cool slate and a long savoury close.

When should I drink Odinstal 350 NN Riesling Basalt?

Drink 5 to 20 from vintage. Young vintages benefit from 30-90 minutes of decanting; mature bottles should be handled carefully for sediment.

What food pairs with Odinstal 350 NN Riesling Basalt?

Pike-perch with brown butter is the canonical pairing; Spargel with hollandaise is the other strong match. Cool basalt minerality echoes brown butter on river fish.

Is Odinstal 350 NN Riesling Basalt vegan?

No: the producer uses traditional animal-derived fining agents (typically egg whites or isinglass) during clarification, so the wine is not vegan.
