Reiler Mullay-Hofberg Riesling Auslese 2024

Peach
Candied grapefruit
Honey

Peach and candied grapefruit with a gentle honey note. This sweet Riesling feels surprisingly light and delicate, with floral touches and fruit that lingers after the sip. A small glass for a quiet evening when there’s no need to hurry.

You’ll notice plenty of sweetness without a heavy feel.

If you like sweet whites that feel light and keep their fruit lingering, start here.

Fermented and matured in stainless-steel tanks, keeping its natural sweetness.

AT THE TABLE

Peach tart with a little cream

The peach and honey notes follow the fruit while the light feel suits the cream.

SOMETHING SIMPLE

Blue cheese with toasted walnuts

Sweetness meets the salty cheese and leaves room for the nuts.

FOR SHARING

Gently spiced chicken with apricots

The sweet, light feel softens the spice and follows the fruit in the dish.

Also good

Try a little blue cheese with pear; sweetness softens the salty bite without making the glass feel heavy.

Skip

Dark chocolate would cover the delicate peach and candied citrus.
