Dr. Nagler, Riesling Kabinett "Rudesheimer Bishofsberg", Rheingau, Germany 2021
100% Riesling
STARFRUIT, GOLDEN APPLE, SLATE, TINGLY ACIDITY, A TOUCH OF SWEETNESS
Rich, elegant, clean and bracing: everything a great Riesling should be. Overlooking the Rhine River, the sloping vineyards soak up precious sunlight reflected off the water. The result is a small amount of excellent fruit, hand-selected and hand-harvested. The Bischofsberg is home to rich sedimentary soil with broad areas of slate (and the Nägler ostrich farm), yielding a wine with zesty acidity and intense minerality; rich and refreshing, brimming with tropical fruit, flowers, and the perfect amount of sweetness.
Serving suggestion: Spicy vegetable fried rice with crispy tofu, scrambled (ostrich?) egg and a drizzle of Sriracha. Tempeh tacos with heirloom tomato, shredded cabbage, queso fresco, chopped cilantro, and lime juice.
