Wine Tip
Riesling selected harvest, sweet, 2008
“Selected harvest” wines excel due to their balanced fruity aroma, which is created by the use of fully ripe grapes and the sorting out of unripe berries. The aromatic lamb goes very well with the special character of the wine and the sweet figs.
Step 1
Preheat the grill. Finely chop garlic, rosemary and thyme. Halve dried figs.
