Bardul din Mircești Riesling 2023

Apple
Grapefruit
Cinnamon

Apple and citrus meet a soft, creamy feel, with a little blossom on the nose. Six months on fine lees and partial oak maturation give this Riesling more texture. You'll notice freshness running through that rounded feel. Open it when the evening has time to unfold.

You’ll notice fresh apple inside a creamy feel, with a little cinnamon at the end.

If you like a dry white with apple flavours and a creamy feel, start here.

Six months on fine lees, with part of the wine matured in French oak.

The winery sits in Mircești, among the hills of Ungheni.

AT THE TABLE

Pork loin with baked apples

Apple flavours meet in the glass and on the plate, with creamy texture for the pork.

SOMETHING SIMPLE

Salmon with fennel and cream

The rounded feel suits the sauce while citrus freshness lifts the fish.

FOR SHARING

Leek and mushroom tart

The creamy, gently woody character fits the pastry and savoury filling.

Also good

Try roast cauliflower with butter and almonds; the creamy feel fits the butter and the fresh edge keeps it lively.

Skip

A very sweet apple pudding would cover the fresh fruit and subtle cinnamon.
