Christoph Edelbauer, Sauvignon Blanc Trockenbeerenauslese, Austria 2015 [375 ml]
{biodynamic} 100% Sauvignon Blanc
TROPICAL FRUIT, HONEY, CITRUS ZEST; HARMONIOUS SWEETNESS & ACIDITY
Sauvignon Blanc for dessert? You bet your ass. Christoph Edelbauer’s dessert wine is a masterpiece of harmony. Think warm honey dripping slowly over a plate of tropical fruit, dusted w/ grapefruit zest & served alongside a bowl of baked golden apples topped w/ ethereally light caramel. Rich, full sweetness yields to palate-cleansing acidity so deftly that you’ll need to savor another mouthful just to see how the trick is performed.
Serving Suggestion: A small plate of fruit & cheese in the quiet dark, late at night.
