Eisrébe

Eisrébe Wine Details
Price:

Description: Because of the late vintage, and rain at various stages during ripening and cluster formation, botrytis cinerea formed in several sections of our Scheurebe vineyard. The honeyed component contributed by the botrytis nicely enhances the aromatic complexity of the wine, and aromas of honeyed, syrupy stone fruit and pear linger as the wine finishes with bright acidity.

Varietal Definition
Scheurebe:
Grape variety developed from a cross between Sylvaner and Riesling. Extensively planted in the Rheinhessen, Rheinfalz and Franconia regions of Germany. Used to produce full-bodied, aromatic white wines that can reach "Auslese" Pradikat standard in the better vintages.
