Tasting
Gorgeous, young golden colour with bright yellow reflections. Multi-dimensional fruit nose with fresh pineapple, a basket of ripe fruit, acacia blossom, tropical hints, Rust patisserie, some brioche with chestnut honey on top, vineyard peach plus lots of yellow peach and eucalyptus. Inviting, almost serious honey note, seductive fragrance. Also for newcomers to the noble sweet range, if they make an effort. Varied, sweet with a really crisp acidity and elegant creamy fruit, the word conciseness was invented for this peach acidity. High-end citrus syrup, well-integrated residual sugar that supports the acidity, juicy - a finely structured, highly elegant ‘Beerenauslese’ that fits the vintage very well thanks to its complexity. Proud - without wood! If you don't get weak at the knees here ... you have to go straight for the Ruster Ausbruch! A signpost wine to the Welschriesling alley.
Pairing
Turns even a dry biscuit to a great dessert. Goat's cheese parfait with roasted pineapple, pizza with Stilton, Naglreiters Powidlgolatschn, porridge with candied citrus fruits, dirndls (cornelian cherries) and macadamia nuts, mango tart with fontina and honey. Roast goose liver with nutmeg sultanas, curd cheese pancake with plum roaster, sourdough pizza with Stilton, macademia and red caramelised onions, peach ice cream with pieces of fruit, desserts with local fruit such as strawberries or cherries, rice casserole with raspberry syrup. Puff pastry goat's cheese tartlets with melted apricots. Grilled marshmallows with passion fruit juice, rosemary crème brûlée. For levelling a sweet wine tasting, or for ‘ironing’ Sauternes.
