Tasting Note
Crisp, light-bodied Riesling with lime, green apple, white peach, floral notes and a distinct slate/mineral thread; very zesty acidity and a dry, refreshing finish.

Food Pairing
Western: oysters, smoked salmon, grilled white fish, roast chicken, goat cheese. Asian: sushi/sashimi, Thai green curry, Vietnamese spring rolls, Chinese dim sum, spicy Sichuan dishes.

Production Method
Hand-harvested from estate parcels; short pre-press maceration, temperature-controlled fermentation in large Mosel fuder (old oak) and stainless tanks; bottled young to preserve fresh aromatics.
