Wine
Mosel Spätlese (off-dry) Riesling. Characterized by high acidity, subtle sweetness, and aromas of peach and apricot.
Dish
Normandy-style dish of pork loin braised with apples and cider. Apple's sweetness and acidity enhance the pork's umami.
Why It Works
Riesling's subtle sweetness echoes the apple's sweetness, while the wine's acidity refreshingly cuts through the pork's richness. A logical pairing where fruit notes harmonize.
Flavor Harmony
Apple and Riesling have excellent affinity, with pork bringing both together. Riesling's characteristic minerality remains on the finish, beautifully concluding the meal.
