The classic and elegant yet modern and easy understandable label and package is paired with a most appealing and delightful wine.
Typical characteristics of Riesling like green apple and pears, combined with a vivid yet harmonious acidity make this wines a perfect proposition as aperitif, lunch- and dinner-/evening wine. All sorts of seafood are a perfect match as well as meat with white sauces.
