Wine Review: This yellow colored Kabinett level Riesling from Mosel opens with an inviting ripe pear and gentle honey like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, lively, and gently sweet. The flavor profile is a tasty mild orange with hints of peach, pineapple and a touch of pineapple. The finish remains sweet and subtle. This wine would pair well with Kerrygold Dubliner cheese with stone wheat crackers. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Medium intensity of lemony yellow colour. Pronounced aroma of vineyard peaches. Comes across as fresh and luscious with generous stone fruit flavours. Very long with a perfectly balanced acidity and gorgeous minerality that provides the wine with the for the Doctor typical hint of saltiness in the finish. An extremely elegant wine with a tremendous ripening and development potential.Great with seafood and fish. Also try with sushi… Excellent partner in combination with Asian cuisine.
