It offers a different way to enjoy the estate's patient approach: concentrated fruit, a little sweetness and a savoury edge that can work as well with aromatic food as with a cheese course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e* What does Spätlese mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e It’s German for “late harvest”. The grapes are picked later in the season, giving them more time to ripen. The term tells you about the ripeness of the grapes at harvest, while the finished wine can range from dry (trocken) to sweet. This Peter Jakob Kühn Riesling is off-dry, so there’s a little sweetness on the palate, and the fresh Riesling acidity keeps it lively.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAromas:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ripe peach and apricot, with citrus peel, flowers and a gently honeyed, herbal background.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fruit-sweet and concentrated, with fresh acidity giving the ripe flavours lift.

Keep cool and dark; the balance of fruit, sweetness and acidity will evolve with age.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gently spicy prawns, Thai curries, roast pork with fruit or blue cheese; choose desserts that are less sweet than the wine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA little sweetness and a bright line of acidity can be a wonderful combination at dinner. Try this with a fragrant, gently spicy dish or save a glass for cheese. It is a lovely reminder that Riesling does not have to be dry to feel refreshing. Serve around 8-10°C in modest pours, allowing the fruit and acidity to refresh the palate between bites.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PJ Kuhn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67871498600817,"sku":"TWSPKSOR22","price":75.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/1891\/4673\/files\/TWSPKSOR22_PJ_Kuhn_Oestricher_Lenchen_Riesling_Spatlese_2022.png?v=1794520266","url":"https:\/\/www.indigowineco.com\/products\/pj-kuhn-spatlese-oestrich-riesling-2022","provider":"Indigo Wine Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
