About this product
The Rheingau's benchmark Großes Gewächs Riesling — from the Berg Schlossberg's quartzite-slate south-facing cliff above the Rhine at Rüdesheim. Powerful, dry Riesling of Mosel-rivalling complexity: intense lime blossom, white peach, flint, spice, and a slate-mineral backbone with the Rheingau's characteristic density and weight. Aged 18 months on lees. Needs 5 years; magnificent for 20+.

complement
The traditional Rhine harvest pairing — dry Riesling with caramelised onion tart; the wine's mineral freshness cuts through the onion's sweetness and Speck's fat; caraway bridges the wine's spiced character.

complement
Rhine valley freshwater fish and Rheingau Riesling is a geographic inevitability — the wine's mineral precision and citrus acidity matches the pike's delicate flesh; brown butter resonates with the wine's lees texture.
