2011 Dirler-Cadé Riesling Kessler Cuvée Mathilde

Dirler-Cadé tasting notes: “Here the Grand Cru Kessler surprises with its freshness and its lacy construction that showcases citrus zest and camomille – mouth coating texture, with a pointed and elegant finish.”

– 20 g/l residual sugar – Food pairings: a few poached scallops in a kumquat bouillon would suit it well (literally translated…)

“Bright straw-green. Captivating aromas of ripe peach, citrus fruit and cinnamon. Sweet, round and suave, with tropical fruit and cinnamon notes that carry impressively on the licorice-accented finish. Great riesling. Insiders know that this wine comes from the Heiss Wanne, the best portion of the Kessler grand cru.” 94 points Ian d’Agata
