Riesling Terrassen Smaragd
Smaragd is the Wachau designation for dry late harvest wines, above 12.5% alcohol through natural fermentation. The best smaragd wines can age well for decades. Terrassen indicates it is a cuvee of different hillside sites. Old terraces of varied altitudes and orientations and with primitive rock soils make this wine an elegant culinary accompaniment - with its delicate structure, white peach aroma and subtle slate tone.

Food Pairing
Pair with apple strudel, Thai chicken with ginger and lemon grass, or seared sea scallops in beurre blanc.
