Weingut Staffelter Hof, Riesling Sekt Brut, Mosel, Germany 2018
{organic} 100% Riesling
LIVELY LEMON ZEST & GREEN APPLE, RIVER STONE, PRISTINE
Staffelter Hof boasts over a millennium (since 862!) along the picturesque, yet dauntingly steep, vineyards of the Mosel. This gorgeously chiseled gem, overlooking the Mosel River itself, is dry, assertively tangy, and filled with life. Green apple, quince, and firm citrus abound, with charming undercurrents of mineral and a whisper of leesy richness. This is a refreshing and elegant sipping experience, as well as a spectacular companion to food.
Serving Suggestions: Tuna salad w/ fennel, celery, pickles, & dill on toasted pumpernickel. Avocado & arugula w/ white grapes, capers, & feta. Mild jalapeño popper dip & chips.
