WINE DESCRIPTION
Müller-Catoir Riesling is a highly sought-after wine produced by the renowned German winery, Müller-Catoir. The grapes are sourced from the Pfalz region, known for its unique terroir and ideal growing conditions for Riesling. The vineyards are situated on steep slopes with a mix of sandstone, limestone, and volcanic soils, which impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing of the grapes and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the delicate aromas and flavors of the fruit. The resulting wine is a classic expression of Riesling, with a crisp acidity, vibrant citrus notes, and a subtle hint of sweetness. It is a perfect match for spicy Asian cuisine or fresh seafood dishes.
