2011 Scheurebe TBA No. 7 Zwischen den Seen Kracher 37,5cl

Rich golden yellow. Captivating bouquet of grapefruit zest, peppermint, spiced pear and acacia blossom, complicated by honeyed botrytis. This finely nuanced wine offers vibrant, juicy flavors of gooseberry, lichee and passion fruit. The 2011 No. 7 builds strength on the palate, displaying scintillating candied citrus rind, cassis and wild honey notes with a brilliant lemony twist on the finish. Impeccably balanced and youthfully tart, this is an aristocratic Scheurebe worthy of Müller-Catoir.

Zesty notions of orange marmalade pervade the nose and palate, while overtones of passion fruit and faint spiciness hint at the aromatic nature of Scheurebe. It's broken up by more honeyed richness, while precise, lemony acidity brings all into a sharp, citric focus, with a clean- cut finish.

Ripe apple and pear flavors appear in this luxuriant and creamy sweetie, featuring a fresh spiciness and hints of savory herbs. Very honeyed on the finish, with some notes of maple. Drink now. 150 cases made. -KM .
