Dr. Heger
Riesling
About this wine
A classic Kaiserstuhl Riesling Spätlese from Dr. Heger, from the volcanic basalt and loess soils of the Winklerberg, showing the warmth and richness of the Baden region.
A perfect introduction to German Riesling — refreshing sweetness that is never cloying, balanced by vibrant acidity.
Sommelier's Note
"An essential expression of Baden terroir — its volcanic minerality is a must-experience for any Riesling lover."
Food Pairings
Pairs beautifully with spicy Asian cuisine, roasted poultry, and creamy blue cheeses. Its acidity cuts through richness while the sweetness complements subtle heat. Traditional Japanese tempura with salt and teriyaki chicken are also excellent matches.
When to drink it
Ideal for celebratory dinners, sophisticated aperitifs, or as a thoughtful gift for wine enthusiasts.
