coupled with a cheerfully fine spritz of a bubble

Koehler-Ruprecht Spatburgunder Kabinett Trocken, Pfalz, Germany 2021 The Royal Tokaji Company warm plums and Christmas cakeSourced from a mix of sites in Kallstadt and one vineyard in Bad Drkheim where the soils are light and sandy. The grapes were handpicked, destemmed and barrel aged for about 18 months. With a delicate nose of red flowers and cherries, the palate is fresh and vibrant, with a melange of red fruits (think plums, crunchy cranberries and raspberries, strawberry compote) balanced with a savory spice on the finish.
