Winemaker Notes
Only the best grapes were selected by hand for this wine. Winemaker Jan Eymael prefers to pick the grapes just before the maximum of ripeness. Therefor the wine stays fresh with a delicate lime and blackcurrant aroma. A full and round body turns into a smooth and elegant finish.

This is alluring and aromatic, with tropical notes of mango, persimmon and clementine, with plenty of exotic spice and substance underneath. Beautifully made and textured.
Like its parent Riesling, Scheurebe is an aromatic variety made in a range of styles from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. Either style will show high acidity, but not quite as high as Riesling. Crisp and pleasant, it features citrus fruit from lime to grapefruit, as well as pear, blackcurrant, herbs and honeysuckle. It thrives in cool climates, and is most popular in Rheinhessen, Pfalz, Franken and Nahe regions of Germany, as well as Austria, Slovenia and Switzerland
This sunny and relatively dry region served for many years as a German tourist mecca and was associated with low cost, cheerful wines. But since the 1980s, it has gained a reputation as one of Germany’s more innovative regions, which has led to increased international demand.
