RIESLING, WITH THAT 'X' QUALITY

+ GRAPE: Organic. 100% Riesling grown in the tiny Saar region of the Mosel, Germany - land of cool-climates and amazing blue slate soil. 

+ PROFILE: I'm off-dry, but incredibly balanced. Sweet yellow fruit, white peach up front meets wet stone and slate - all backed by infinitely refreshing acidity.

+ PAIRINGS: All the usual spicy-cuisine trappings, plus a fantastic pairing for fried food (think Tempura, fried pickles, and other deliciousness). 

VIA THE IMPORTER, VOM BODEN
'This is Lauer’s Platonic ideal of what a Saar Riesling should be. If we were in Burgundy this would be the equivalent of a Bourgogne Blanc. As an appellation-level wine, it is sourced from multiple vineyards in three different villages of the Saar. This is always a thrilling off-dry and a silly value.'
