NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Schäfer-Fröhlich Vulkangestein Riesling trocken is a beautiful expression of the Riesling grape.Showing off a light straw color in the glass, this wine has a nose of white flowers and citrus fruits. On the palate, it is crisp and clean, with bright acidity and a delightful minerality. Flavors of lemons and limes, with white peaches and honeycomb, linger on the finish. A perfect food-friendly wine, this Riesling will pair nicely with lighter dishes like sushi and fish.
