Scheurebe

by Jim Grow » Thu Apr 06, 2017 9:08 pm

2011 Kurt Darting Ungsteiner Honigsackel Scheurebe Spatlese; what a mouthful, but I opened this Scheurebe, my only one, since recently thinking a lot about my friend John Thrombley. I thought David Bueker might enjoy the note too. What a delight to drink this wine. It was medium+ straw color with a great nose of pineapple and muted citrus with the palate following in a louder way with a slight herbal note too. The acidity was so lovely with that prickly-ness without the tartness that makes it hard not to gulp.
Imported by Skurnik with 9.5% abv I wish Scheurebe was more available in central Ohio.

I just realized I meant to write grapefruit instead on pineapple. The mind is a terrible thing to waste!

Darting makes lovely Scheurebe.

The 2014 Spätlese is a gem as well.

+1 re what David said, the best Scheurebes I have tasted came from Darting..hard to find locally, my local go to guy for German wines sold his store and the new owner's selectiion of German gems kinda sparse..I typically buy them at Northside in Ithaca
