Your description of the Riesling + soup pairing is making my mouth water! I enjoyed a Sekt on New Year’s Day that was pretty old (1992) and it tasted like turmeric and ginger. It seemed coincidental that what young Riesling pairs with is what it might just end up tasting like 30 years later...? 🤔
Luscious but not sweet? Doesn't seem possible but I'd sure try it. Dry rieslings I've had have not been luscious. How would you compare this one with a Gruner veltliner? The closest thing to crunchy I have had would be a Macon villages.
That’s why this one caught me by surprise because their other Rieslings have been sharp and bright to me. this one was more romantic in quality (also a 2021... maybe a couple years of aging had something to do with it)

Ohhh I love that theory and I can imagine there’s some truth behind it!

Yes! Luscious, but not sweet! There was a soft, roundness to it but not sweet at all. Almost creamy? That’s why malo came to mind.
Malo would have that effect. You're probably right.
