About this product
From the Gräfenberg monopole — Kiedrich's greatest site — this Spätlese is the definitive Rheingau Riesling. Naturally sweet with impeccable balance, aromas of white peach, apricot, orange blossom, and wet slate. The hallmark petrol note emerges with age alongside honeyed complexity. Acidity cuts through the sweetness perfectly, giving a wine of extraordinary elegance.
Pairing intelligence
complement
The wine's residual sugar and acidity mirror the fatty richness and sweetness of foie gras. Slate minerality cuts through the fat, while stone fruit notes harmonise with the terrine.

complement
Nutty aged cheese meets the honey and stone fruit of Spätlese. Sweetness plays against the cheese's savouriness in a classic combination.

complement
Classic German affinity — Riesling Spätlese is made for pork. Apple and fennel echo the wine's fruit character, spice amplifies its complexity, and natural sweetness balances the fat.

bridge
The wine's tropical fruit notes bridge to mango, while its acidity prevents cloying sweetness. Cardamom adds aromatic interest without competing.
