Tasting

Brilliant straw yellow, “Gute Helene” pears, red apples and quince chilli. Close your eyes! All of a sudden a meadow with white and yellow flowers and a tree heavily loaded with greengages (Kriecherl) appears in front or your mind’s eye. Spring meets autumn – in Rust – and only there! Dry, vital, animating complex acidity, hearty and balanced. Beautiful touch of buckthorn, papaya, compact, delicate creamy texture, selective harvesting in order to prevent Botrytis to affect the grapes is reflected as well as the extremely low yield which may be regarded with ambivalent feelings.

Pairing

Crispy fried pike with savoury quince jelly. Bean strudel with marjoram sauce, endive salad with pumpkin seed oil, hard-boiled eggs and bacon. Enjoy with a delicious snack of naturally raised pork, fresh brown bread with matured Gouda cheese, duck rilettes with thyme toast and much more… - the hit with any blind tasting of whites and ambitious “staying-up-all-night”. Terrine of brown hear with pistachios and stewed pears.
