The Furst… Riesling embraces all of the characteristics of Riesling from Alsace. After harvest, the wine undergoes a traditional fermentation in stainless steel at tightly controlled temperatures. After 3 to 4 weeks, the wine is racked off of the lees. This is a powerful wine with aromas of ripe fruit, roses and spices. The Furst… Riesling is subtle and fragrant on the palate. Excellent with shellfish and traditional Alsace dishes like sauerkraut and smoked ham. The wine is best when served cool at around 50° F.
