Merkki: Colterenzio (Schreckbichl)

Full yellow in colour; a deliciously intensely aromatic and floral bouquet with hints of honey and ginger and a flavour of lychees; full-bodied, luscious but dry, the opulence cut by vibrant, firm acidity. Cellaring potential: 6 – 8 years.

A great favourite at parties and for social drinking, it makes an excellent partner for Chinese and Thai cuisine, creamy Indian curries, foie-gras, duck, lobster or crayfish, as well as blue cheeses such as gorgonzola and stilton. Serve lightly chilled: 10 – 12° C.
