The estate's dry Saar Riesling: mirabelle, elderflower and white peach over crystalline, refreshing, well-structured slate minerality.

What it pairs with

  • Fines de claire oysters
    Dry, mineral Saar Riesling and saline slate make a textbook briny match.
  • Mosel river trout meuniere
    Bright slate-driven acidity and citrus mirror the brown-butter and lemon of the local fish.
  • Mussels in white wine
    Crystalline acidity and salinity flatter the briny shellfish.
