What to Drink

2011 Leitz Riesling 'Dragonstone', Rheingau, Germany

Every week, world-renowned sommelier, Rajat Parr, shares advice and tasting notes on what to drink with our featured meal.

 

An off-dry Riesling would be a terrific match with this dish as the residual sugar provides just enough texture and weight to stand up to the scallop, while playing off the spiciness of the chorizo and jalapeño. The elevated acidity and bright fruit characteristics in the wine bring freshness to your palate after each complex bite. The 2011 Leitz Dragonstone Riesling comes from the steep slopes of the Drachenstein vineyard in Rheingau’s Rudesheim village. The bright fruit, brisk acidity and touch of residual sugar perfectly compliment the texture of the scallop, sweetness of the corn and spiciness of the chorizo and jalapeño.
