Domäne Wachau Riesling Terrassen Federspiel 2023

This Riesling Terrassen Federspiel offers a pronounced nose with vibrant aromas of stone fruit, delicate lime, and ripe pear. On the palate, flavors of juicy white peach and subtle hints of apricot shine through. The wine is balanced by a refined structure with fresh, crisp, and plush acidity, making it lively and elegant. The term "Federspiel," derived from medieval falconry, symbolizes the grace and elegance of these dry white wines.

Served well chilled, this Riesling is a classic match for Mediterranean dishes like Bouillabaisse, grilled sea bass, or Piccata Milanese. It pairs excellently with sushi, sashimi, and fried shrimp tempura. For an Austrian twist, try it with baked carp or poached fish accompanied by a crunchy summer salad topped with goat cheese.
