Wine is currently developing complexity with crisp acidity and terroir expression becoming more pronounced.

2019 vintage in Rheingau was very good with balanced concentration and acidity supporting long term aging. The Große Lage Doosberg vineyard imparts strong minerality and fine structure, which evolves harmoniously over a decade plus.

Food pairing

Excellent with seafood, shellfish, sushi, light poultry dishes, Asian cuisine, and mildly spiced preparations.
