Weegmüller (WeinManufaktur Steinbock) 2022 Scheurebe trocken
Steffi has always had a way with the kinky Scheurebe. Derived primarily from vines in the Herrenletten and Mandelring, the grapefruit aroma is one you can take to the bank. Truly dry, and sporting just 12% alcohol, the wine has an electric impact on the palate, simultaneously light-footed and substantial, with an expansive salty finish. Truly masterful in this most graceful of vintages.

Notes from the Producer: The vin is grown up on a soil with marl, loam and clay. Handpicked then fermented in stainless steel. Scheurebe is our answer to Sauvignon Blanc. Aromas of Grapefruit, Mandarine and Bloodoranges. Light, spicy flavours with an aromatic finish. Ideal with mild Asian cuisine. Alternatively melon with Parma ham, shellfish in a tomato sauce or just as a summer aperitif.
