Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Bouillabaisse with crostini and rouille
  • Fried oysters with remoulade
  • Seafood cobb salad with poached shrimp, crab, bacon, avocado and cherry tomatoes

This briny Grüner opens with textbook aromas of white pepper, lemon peel, and minerals, and explodes in the mouth with bright, high toned lemon and lime flavors that linger on the palate. A bracing core of acidity gives excellent structure to this crisp and clean find from Wachau.
