BASSERMANN-JORDAN RIESLING TROCKEN 2021, Germany

This winery can trace its origins to 1718 so they must be doing something right! Trocken = Dry. This dry riesling exudes ripe fruit, but is not sweet. Melon, nectarine, kumquat, apple, pear, gooseberry, kiwi, grapefruit, lemon, lychee, pith and white pepper coexist well in the busy nose & palate. Vibrant acidity & viscous texture rule the day. Food pairings with this versatile dry, low-alcohol wine could include Lyonnaise Salad, Gravlax, Smoked Trout, Sushi, Pork Schnitzel, Shrimp Tempura and Pan-Fried Pork Belly with Pureed Cinnamon Apples.
