Ruster Ausbruch Sauvignon Blanc

Vintage

2006

Description

Golden yellow, rich traces of viscosity on the glass, geleè of quince, gooseberry pie, chilli and dried fruit, some hints of red currant, tropical fruits, very complex and gaining with air, already beautifully balanced sweetness with an animating racy acidity, a continuous oscillation between those two extremes, delicate herbal nuances, litchi, citrus, vivacious and full of finesse, it conquers the palate and stays on!   

Accompanying ideas

Ragout of goose with raisins and cashew nuts, caramelized gooseberry tart, pizza with gorgonzola, dried apricots and honey-paranuts, strawberry strudel, curd dumplings with stewed sour cherries, completes every Sauvignon blanc tasting.
