| Food Pairing Guide | This crisp, mineral Riesling is a wonderfully versatile food wine. It’s excellent with white fish, grilled prawns, sushi and sashimi, or a classic plate of fish and chips. Its bright acidity and citrus freshness suit Asian dishes beautifully, especially Vietnamese summer rolls, Thai salads, mild curries and dim sum. It’s also lovely with pork, from roast pork with apple to schnitzel or a pork stir-fry, and with roast chicken or duck. Vegetarians could try roasted squash and root vegetables, a goat’s cheese and beetroot salad or vegetable tempura. It pairs well with goat’s cheese and feta. It’s also a refreshing aperitif when well chilled. |

Dr. L Riesling Dry is a classic introduction to Mosel Riesling from one of Germany’s most celebrated wine families. The Loosen family has grown Riesling in the Mosel valley for more than two centuries, and Ernst Loosen has made the Dr. Loosen estate famous around the world. With his brother Thomas, he works with dedicated growers across the region to make the Dr. L wines, capturing the elegant, racy character of the Mosel’s steep slate vineyards at a very approachable price. This dry version is the counterpart to the hugely popular off-dry Dr. L. It is made by the same cellar team as the estate wines, in a pure, unoaked style.
In the glass it is a pale, bright straw. The nose is fresh and inviting, with lemon, lime and green apple, hints of white peach and delicate white-flower aromas, and a slightly grassy, herbaceous edge. The palate is crisp and dry yet beautifully fruity, with zesty pink grapefruit and vibrant acidity, and it finishes clean and steely with a distinctive slate minerality. It’s an extraordinarily versatile wine with food, and a great everyday Riesling.
