Nikolaihof Guts Riesling (off dry), 0.75L, 2017

Description;

100% Riesling from the Wachau, Austria. The vines are grown on loess soils on Danube gravel, from the Vom Stein vineyards of Weingut Nikolaihof. The grapes are harvested manually. This is part of the ‘Vom Stein’ Riesling Federspiel, which was used as ‘Gutswein’ after the natural cessation of fermentation. 6 months maturation and bottled in April 2018. Spontaneous fermentation in large old wooden casks (2000 to 12000 litres)

Tasting Notes: Clear and intense on the nose, with aromas of minerality, forest floor, sweet peach, white flowers and a hint of dry bread and honey with a slightly sweet aftertaste.

Food Pairings:

A perfect pairing with Asian and spicy dishes due to its light sweetness. Dishes such as Sio bak (roasted pork), sashimi, papaya salad and Cajun chicken are good matches
