## Food pairing

The wine's high acidity and crispness cut through richer elements in food, while its fruity notes complement a variety of lighter proteins and vegetables. It acts as a refreshing counterpoint to dishes with subtle spice or citrus.

## Wine making process

The Frey Organic Riesling 2024 is produced using 100% Riesling grapes from Rheinhessen. The grapes undergo a six-hour skin maceration before fermentation in stainless steel tanks, primarily with natural yeast strains. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in stainless steel to maintain its freshness. The vineyards are managed using organic farming practices, and the wine is packaged in a 1.5-liter pouch.
