With sharp, lightning-like acidity (sky high even for Riesling), Weingut Korrell’s Ersten Lagen Riesling Trocken leaves you waiting for a thunderclap. Sourced from “First Growth” vineyards, the wine is stark and powerful, verging on austere, but maintains balance with a mixture of fruit, florality, and minerality: delicate notes of white flowers, lemon grass, lime, peach, river rocks and petrol all come through. This wine will hold up to even the fattiest of foods — think pâté. Indulge and enjoy!
