LEMON & PINEAPPLE, GINGER, SLATE & FLINT, UBER-ERFRISCHEND, JA!
It might not be fair to outright assert that Mosel Rieslings represent the absolute epitome of the grape’s signature combination of intense terroir and unremitting tropical citrus, but the region is certainly a contender for Riesling “world capital” status. The Melsheimer estate crafts this cuvée from grapes grown in its prized vineyards, striving for exceptional balance. The hand-crafted moniker is well deserved here. Delicious and complex!
Serving Suggestion: Japanese squid salad w/ sesame, cucumbers, & pickled plum. Hawaiian pizza w/ tomato, garlic, & pineapple (ham optional).
