Amphitryon, Riesling

White wine | Domaine du Mont d’Or, Valais AOC

A well acclimatised Germain!
This Riesling - rare in the old country - is typical, intense, with great vivacity, well covered in an expressive, elegant style, sustained by a lingering finish of white peach and melon. A cuvée that lives up to its name: an amphitheatre is a generous host... and this white wine is the perfect accompaniment to many dishes. It will sublimate seafood, but also spicy Asian dishes, sauerkraut or soft cheeses.
