2021 Ein Kleines Fass Riesling, Zahel, Vienna, Austria

OVERVIEW

A unique take on traditional Riesling, combining the grape’s natural acidity and fruit-forward profile with the nuanced influence of oak ageing. 

FOOD PAIRING INSPIRATION

The wine's complexity pairs well with the sweet and spicy flavours of Thai or Vietnamese cuisine, such as Thai green curry or Vietnamese caramelised pork. It also pairs well with pork tenderloin with applesauce or grilled pork chops with a light marinade work well, as the wine’s acidity cuts through the richness of the meat.
