NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Karthäuserhof Karthäuserhofberg Riesling GG trocken reveals a shimmering pale gold color in the glass.A symphony of aromatics, it unfurls with scents of green apple, lime zest, white peach, and a pronounced minerality, reminiscent of wet slate and river stones. On the palate, its precision shines through - dry, with invigorating acidity, the wine showcases layers of citrus, stone fruit, and a saline mineral depth. The finish is long, persistent, and marked by hints of white flowers and a slight smoky nuance. This wine is not just a sip, but an experience, drawing the taster into the heart of the Mosel's vine-covered landscapes. With its capacity for aging, it can be enjoyed now or cellared to further develop its complexities. It pairs exceptionally with seafood dishes, particularly oysters or scallops, and enhances the flavors of spicy Asian cuisine.
