Pale lemon yellow. Herbal, green and herbaceous scent. Also on the palate predominantly with vegetal aromas and an almost painfully extreme herbal minerality. The fruit, if perceptible at all in the form of apple cider, plays an almost negligible minor role. Expressive, strongly polarising wine. Long and persistent.

Pale lemon yellow. Quiet, fine, in every respect prototypical Scheurebe fragrance of blackcurrant. Pyrazine perceptible on the tongue. Herbal finish. If it were a Scheurebe like from a picture book, there wouldn't be the somewhat bitter aftertaste.

Bright yellow. Spicy, green-herbal bouquet with red berry accents. Also on the palate more of herbs than fruit. Slender stature, not quite dry in taste. Good length.

Pale yellow. Distinctive “tears” on the glass wall. Ethereal fragrance component in the nose. Next to citrus and mint. Compact fruit, well balanced and on the tongue rather with soft tones. In the end, however, a little well-behaved. Good length.

Pale yellow. In the nose citrus and a hint of mint. Elegant Kabinett with good concentration, which despite its lightness appears consistently present on the palate from the beginning to the finish. Spicy herbs, delicate acidity, recognizable mineralic foundation, good length.

Intense pink. Animating scent of black currant. Shows intensity and fine spice on the tongue and palate. Full of character and quite individual. Very good aftertaste.

Straw yellow. Spicy and planty bouquet with subtle aromas of ripe yellow fruits and melon. In the mouth with very good presence and creamy fruitiness. Off-dry taste with a clear but excellently integrated sweetness. Harmonious and with some air without the initial bitterness. More reminiscent of a Chardonnay than a Pinot Blanc. Excellent length.

🯅The rating of the wine is based on a single taster. The taster is named in the context of the rating. The tasting was either open or blind. In case of a blind tasting, it is explicitly labelled as such.
🯅🯅The rating of the wine is based on two tasters. The tasters are named in the context of the rating. The tasting was carried out according to the four-eyes principle, in which both tasters agree on a joint rating.
🯅🯅🯅The rating is based on a tasting by our jury and indicates the Mean value calculated by us from the individual ratings of the tasters. Our mean value is based on the median.
The wine was evaluated in a blind tasting. We have strict rules for blind tastings. The tasters do not receive any information that would allow them to identify the wines. The tasters are only given access to further information that goes beyond the subject matter if it is absolutely necessary for understanding the wines.
🕓We only had limited time to taste the wine  - typically during an open tasting event, such as a wine fair. It was therefore not possible to observe the development of the wine in the glass over a longer period of time. The informative value of our rating may therefore be limited under certain circumstances.
The wine was tasted as a barrel sample or before an official test number (Amtliche Prüfungsnummer or Staatliche Prüfnummer) was issued. We only accept samples of unfilled wines in exceptional cases, and then only if we can assume sufficient stability in the bottle for a period of at least three months.
During our tasting, the wine showed conspicuous sensory characteristics. This does not necessarily have to be a wine fault. We categorise the quality and quantity of the abnormality and include it in the rating. Wine faults such as cork taint or an atypical ageing generally lead to a complete rejection.
Tastings that refer to the same bottle of a wine are visually summarised by a dotted line.
