  This 2007 Kreuznacher Rosenberg Grauer is still young and although not a stunner a very nice sipping wine or good company with food.
  
  I've put it in a contest next to a 2008 Alsace Pinot Gris over a two course meal.
  
  We started with a warm salad with trout fillet, sesame seeds and red grapefruit. Although the Pinot Gris has a more distinct grapefruit scent the Grauer Burgunder Auslese had a whiff of spicy ginger and more vibrant acidity to cope with the grapefruit in the dish.
  
  The main course was fried wild salmon fillet with a sauce of ginger and lemon. served with carrots, mashed potatoes and fried leeks. In this combination the Grauer Burgunder Auslese with its slender body tipped the balance by being less sweet and gave a better performance to counter the rich sauce and soy sauce effect of the fried leeks.
  
  I can understand why these German wine make such good company in combination with Asian food
  
  Although not a stunning wine now it has plenty of life ahead, a real bargain.
