2007 Willi Schaefer Riesling Mosel Qualitätswein

Classic Mosel Riesling from renowned German vintner Willi Schaefer. This, the most basic of his Rieslings, makes perfect summer drinking. The 2007 is scented with apricot and lime blossom. On the palate, it’s soft, lush, flowery, the sweetness balanced by a crisp acidity.

I’ve been serving it with peas rolled in butter or roasted asparagus with olive oil. But I can imagine it will be wonderful with summer melon and prosciutto, or even an iceberg lettuce wedge with Roquefort dressing.

Price: About $20

Style: Slightly sweet but vibrant and zesty

What it goes with: peas, asparagus, prosciutto and melon
