Tasting Note
Lusciously sweet with honeyed apricot, candied orange peel, exotic tropical fruit and blossom-honey; bright citrus acidity and pronounced slate-mineral finish, very long and vivid.

Food Pairing
Western: foie gras, blue cheese (Roquefort), fruit tarts, tarte Tatin with vanilla ice cream. Asian: spicy Thai or Szechuan dishes, hoisin-glazed duck, rich Chinese dim-sum with sweet soy, mango sticky rice.

Production Method
Hand-harvest of botrytized berries (Beerenauslese), very low yields; fermented and matured in stainless-steel tanks to preserve purity and acidity.
