A small basket of fruit unfolds as the wine opens up, provided you give it some time and don’t serve it too cold: pears, apples, gooseberries, ringlot plums, and a hint of mango, along with a fresh bouquet of herbs—an incredibly deep and complex bouquet. Juicy on the palate with a crystal-clear aroma. It lingers endlessly, yet immediately makes you want another glass. Yet another testament to just how good Roter Veltliner can be. Forget Chablis—pair this wine with oysters.
