Current status

Approaching early maturity, drinking well now

Current condition

Fresh acidity with developing minerality and complexity

The high acidity of Riesling combined with the special terroir of the Schlossberg vineyard (volcanic and limestone soils) supports long-term aging. As the wine matures, it will gradually gain more complexity, richness, and tertiary notes while retaining its freshness.

Food pairing

Perfect with shellfish, grilled fish, roasted chicken, lightly spiced Asian cuisine, and aged cheeses.
