Riesling Grand Cru Geisberg - 2018 - MAGNUM
This wine is distinguished by a powerful acidity counterbalanced by a great crystalline finesse.
This Riesling calls for a noble cuisine: a lobster cassolette, scallops a la plancha, a risotto with truffle oil and its wok of vegetables. Its elegant structure is a perfect accompaniment to fish and shellfish, as well as goat's and sheep's cheese.
