I looked it up. I am from Germany as well. It’s a certain type of yellowish sandstone deposited many mio years ago in freshwater river estuaries. Sometimes plant material is found in the stone. It has been widely used as building material in Southwest Germany. Not clear to me why the name may be because of its looks or because folks might have found “Schilf” in the stone ones in a while.

Had this with Brabander which helped cut some acidity but tasting group consensus is it’s not worth what I paid ($90), maybe it could’ve been left out longer - maybe too early to open, but had potential (perhaps, perhaps, perhaps) — a year ago

😍 tastes past its prime but still a great experience. Like a shot of espresso with an undertone of cherries. Great for thinking about the new Bob Dylan biopic (as a late super fan I have many thoughts). — 4 months ago
