the WINE
Aromatic. Grapefruit. Fragrant.
Scheurebe
Scheurebe (pronounced “shoy ray beh”) is another new crossing that is well established in a number of regions. Bred in 1916 in Rheinhessen and named after its breeder, Georg Scheu, it is a crossing of Silvaner and Riesling. It ripens in early October, but the late-harvested wines of this grape are those that are treasured most. The wines have full body, pronounced acidity and a bouquet and taste reminiscent of black currants. Scheurebe is most widely planted in the Pfalz, Rheinhessen and Nahe regions.
Scheurebe TERRA. Kabinett. dry. 2018.
Fresh, lively wine, made from 55 years old vines. A wonderful glass of wine by itself, but also a pleasant match for light and spicy Asian dishes.
Shoy. Kabinett. dry. 2022.
“Shoy” is how the locals refer to Scheurebe – it is short, hip and pronounceable 😉 Aromatic, citrusy, touch of grapefruit, dry, light/medium body. A food-wine with a very wide variety of possible matches: Mediterranean or Asian but also white meat barbeque works well with it.
