Aroma: fresh orchard fruit

Palate: silky texture, creamy mid-palate

Fresh, clear and lively, yet also silky, textured and creamy, per the producer's own tasting note for the Heugumber site.

What it pairs with

  • Felchen (Alpine whitefish) meuniere
    Ziereisen's own region pairs Gutedel with lake fish; the wine's creamy texture matches butter-cooked whitefish.
  • Fresh chevre with herbs
    The silky texture and clean fruit sit well against a mild, herbed goat cheese.
  • Spargel with brown butter
    Medium acidity and creamy palate are a classic Baden match for white asparagus.

History

Heugumber is one of Ziereisen's named Gutedel parcels in Efringen-Kirchen; the estate deliberately bottles its site wines as Landwein rather than pursuing higher formal classification, choosing site name recognition over the VDP pyramid.
