NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Battenfeld Spanier Hohen-Sülzen Riesling is a delightful German Riesling that showcases the unique characteristics of the Hohen-Sülzen region.On the nose, expect vibrant aromas of ripe peaches, green apples, and citrus zest. These fruity notes are complemented by hints of white flowers and a subtle mineral undertone, which adds complexity to the bouquet. The flavors mirror the aromas, with juicy stone fruits taking the spotlight, accompanied by zesty lemon and a touch of honeyed sweetness. The wine's mineral backbone provides a clean and lingering finish.
This Riesling is a fantastic companion to a wide range of dishes. Its acidity cuts through rich and creamy sauces, making it an excellent match for seafood, poultry, and vegetarian dishes. It also pairs well with spicy cuisine, as the sweetness helps to balance the heat.
