Medium-bodiedRacy aciditySweetLong finish

Aroma: yellow fruit, fine floral, spice

Palate: salty minerality, stone fruit, playful

A fruity-style Spatlese from the Zeltinger Sonnenuhr: yellow-fruited and fine-floral with expressive spice and a delicate, slightly salty minerality.

What it pairs with

  • Seared foie gras
    Botrytis sweetness and cutting acidity balance the rich liver without cloying.
  • Sichuan mapo tofu
    The wine's sweetness and high acidity buffer the numbing chilli oil and lift the fermented-bean savour.
  • Roast pheasant
    Expressive spice and concentrated fruit complement the game bird.
