Riesling Smaragd from the Hochrain terraces above Wösendorf by Weingut Schrey; citrus-mineral and white-peach character with medium body.

What it pairs with

    The mineral freshness and citrus character of the Riesling complement Danube freshwater fish.
  • Light vegetable soup
    The wine's herbal mineral notes lift a simple vegetable broth.
  • Young gouda
    Light mineral and citrus notes balance the mild young cheese.
