Christoph Edelbauer, Riesling Reserve, Kamptal, Austria 2017
{biodynamic} 100% Riesling
ROBUST LEMON & LIME, RACY YET ROUND, SEDUCTIVE
"Slatey, full of stone fruit! Soft, with corners and edges!" Almost serving as a counterpoint to the famously firm and assertively acidic wines of Austria’s Wachau, this impressive selection from Christoph Edelbauer presents an outstandingly opulent rendition of Riesling. One of the most full-bodied examples of the variety you’re liable to encounter, it manages to combine the zesty citric zeal and proclivity for mineral complexity with a more mouth-filling voluptuousness.
Serving suggestion: Savory Szechuan salt & pepper squid w/ crispy-roasted green beans. Tempura squash & shiitakes w/ ponzu dipping sauce.
