Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Chinese-style whole striped bass steamed with ginger, scallions, and chiles
  • Roasted pork tenderloin with kumquat, ginger, and jalapeño compote
  • Seared scallops with parsnip puree and basil oil

This fantastic Slovenian Riesling is the first release from a new venture started by the well-known Austrian winemaker Erich Krutzler. Granny Smith apple and flinty minerals on the nose open onto a peachy palate that is über elegant, layered, and extremely vibrant. Lemon and lime zest notes on the finish contribute additional complexity to this very exciting off-the-beaten-path gem. An awesome discovery for dry Riesling lovers!
