My Karp Riesling

Good German Riesling is very good at balancing. Specifically, it manages to balance amazing freshness with intense fruit flavours. This one’s classically off-dry (there’s a hint of sweetness rather than full on sweetie sweetness) with perky grapefruit and lime cordial flavours. The vineyards lie on the steepest slate-covered slopes along the banks of the Mosel river and have to be harvested by hand rather than machine. A properly wonderful wine, it has actual superpowers when it comes to food, bringing out the best in both. Refreshingly low-ish in alcohol, too. Try it with anything lightly spicy, especially crab cakes.
