Weingut Staffelter Hof, Riesling Dry "Magnus", Mosel, Germany 2018
{organic} 100% Riesling
TART PINEAPPLE & ZESTY LIME, CLEAN SLATE, ANGULAR ACIDITY
With no residual sugar to be found, this driest offering among the “Wolf Wines” from Staffelter Hof teams with the signature tropical citrus and minerality of modern Mosel offerings and does so enticingly and accessibly. Named “Magnus” for a helpful wolf who lived a millennium ago and helped the ancestors of Staffelter Hof when they found themselves with no beast of burden to help ferry stones around (for some reason). Appropriate for a wine whose vibrant glimmer makes us want to howl at the moon!
Serving Suggestion: Smoked haddock & poached egg salad w/ watercress, spinach, lemon juice, & mustard. Washed rind cheeses of relatively gentle intensity.
