With its lyrical expression of sweet, juicy summer peaches perfectly balanced with a zing of tart acidity this is a delicious wine indeed. Yes it is sweet, but the delectable intersection where sweet meets tart is not only irresistible but also makes this a surprisingly good choice to pair with foods such as Thai dishes, curries or spicy Chinese or Tex-Mex fare. It can also be good with rich foods such as goose or foie gras. Trust me, this Riesling rocks.
