Schloss Vollrads Volratz Dry Riesling 2018

 This Rheingau Riesling is a joy to savor. Energetic and impressive, it bursts with fresh lime, petrol, green apple, and white peach aromas and flavors. The palate balances on a knife edge with a zesty, citrus finish; you’ll adore this wine with or without food. This wine has been recognized for its quality, earning 90 points from Wine & Spirits, and it has been described by Anna Lee C. Iijima from Wine Enthusiast as light-bodied and dry, with a refreshing finish of lime zest.

The 2018 Schloss Vollrads Volratz is a versatile choice. It complements a variety of dishes, be they local German cuisine or everyday fare. It pairs exceptionally well with light starters such as salmon pâté, smoked trout (check out the recipe below), asparagus salad, or grilled vegetables. Dry Rieslings, known for their crisp acidity and aromatic intensity, pair with all kinds of seafood as well as sausages and sauerkraut. One of our favorite pairings is to match this lively wine with hot dogs topped with sauerkraut and mustard. Delicious and accessible.
