Signature

Samt & Seide is Dorli’s signature dish. The name points to texture and contrast, which suits a cook who seems to value balance over excess: softness set against structure, richness held in check. In the context of her winemaking, it reads like a dish chosen by someone attentive to proportion, and to the way comfort can still be precise.

In Their Words “Wahrscheinlich Topfen-Haluschka, weil es eines der Lieblingsgerichte meiner Tochter und schnelles Soulfood mit wenigen Zutaten ist.” The craft logic here is economy: a dish defined by a small number of ingredients, prepared quickly, and valued for its direct usefulness at home. The line keeps the focus on function and familiarity, with no need for embellishment. “Gebratener Speck macht einfach alles gut, dazu nur noch Topfen und Fleckerl. Mehr braucht es nicht.” This is a concise statement of sufficiency. Fried bacon, curd, and Fleckerl are enough on their own; the point is not refinement through accumulation, but confidence in a few ingredients doing their work cleanly. That same restraint carries through to the way Dorli Muhr speaks about the Spitzerberg and the wines made at Weingut Dorli Muhr.
