100% Riesling, produced in steep, south-facing clay-limestone and marl slopes of the Mandelberg (named for its almond trees). Features bright citrus (lemon, lime), and orchard fruits (ripe peach, apple). Typical of classic Riesling, a hint of petrol/gasoline, and a stony, mineral-driven backbone with crisp acidity. Ideal with poultry, and also seafood, shellfish (scallops, lobster, langoustines), raw fish, and oily or meaty fish.
