Miguel Torres Waltraud Riesling DO White Wine Dry Spain (12 x 0.75l)

• STORY: Waltraud Riesling is a homage to Miguel A. Torres' wife Waltraud and their homeland, "Rieslingland" Germany. Just as the artist found a new home in the Penedès, the Riesling has also struck deep roots in the cool heights of the Penedès and here produces fragrant, aromatic wines of subtle elegance and finesse.

• VINIFICATION: The grapes for Torres' Waltraud Riesling grow in the elevated, cool areas of the Penedès, where they largely withstand the unusual vintage conditions. The harvest starts at the end of September, the grapes are brought immediately to the winery, sorted, pressed and the musts are fermented cool and slowly at controlled temperatures of around 16 °C within 15 days in stainless steel tanks.

• AROMA: distinctive bouquet, marked by the grape variety but also by the origin, with aromas of apples, peaches and apricots, honeysuckle, some honey, hazelnuts and very fine, spicy hints (nutmeg)

• ASSESSMENT: the typical aromas of apples and citrus fruits dominate on the palate, with a spicy touch of bergamot and fine minerality, the acidity is clear, Riesling fresh and present over the entire length

• SERVING RECOMMENDATION: classic with fish and crustaceans, but also goes well with fresh pasta and rice with seafood, grilled poultry or sweet and spicy Asian dishes
