Wine information:
\nOur Riesling comes from steep terraces of a vineyard lovingly named after a former hermitage. This deep connection to the past is found on the foothills of the northern Danube, high above Stein an der Donau. The character of hard primary rock soil with a light layer of humus characterises this particular vineyard.<\/p>\n
Details on the expansion:
\nThis Riesling presents a perfectly balanced acid-sweet composition with 6 grams of acidity and 5.5 grams of residual sugar. It owes its excellence to four years of ageing in large barrels and additional bottle ageing.<\/p>\n
Colour profile:
\nIt shines in a bright golden yellow, which plays with delicate silvery reflections towards the rim.<\/p>\n
Fragrance notes:
\nThe Riesling waits for you with a seductive freshness, in which notes of apple, citrus fruits, citrus zest, orange flesh, mango and persimmon cavort. With sufficient air contact, it unfolds its dense minerality, paired with aromas of flint, graphite and a hint of light tobacco. Wild herbal notes such as thyme, lemon balm and ginger set energetic accents and underline its dynamism.<\/p>\n
Taste experience:
\nOn the palate, this 2014 Riesling Klause is a firework of dynamism and tension. The beguiling acidity is masterfully embedded in the juicy fruit dominated by fresh notes. It has a remarkable draw, fantastic length and offers salty mineral notes. The whole is refined by a delicate grapefruit note in the long-lasting finish. A real treat for any food event, an umami experience!<\/p>\n
Alternatives to the food recommendations:
\nEnjoy this Riesling with an autumnal butternut squash pearl barley risotto and creamy Brie. Or try it as an accompaniment to tuna carpaccio marinated with lime dill and pink peppercorns, or a lemon butter chicken cry with carrot and pea vegetables and almond couscous.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
