A light wine with lovely tartness and subtle sweet flavors with fruit like apricot and wine grape juice. It tart perfect for food and not sweet, though a strong sweet smell. It's a signature riesling ans lovely.

Color: light pale yellow with golden tones.

Aroma: smells like a riesling delicious. It smells like what I think of ice wine. It smells like sweet fruit like apricot. It smells like summer. There's also floral tones and slight citrus.

Taste: It tastes fresh with a hit of acid and tartness, not sweet like the smell. There tang of like a sour apricot, tart grape. When chewed there's more of the sweet apricot flavors. A slight tartness lingers on the tongue. — 3 years ago

Amazing! 92 vs 90 both beautiful ; 90 much more tertiary — mushrooms, hay, butterscotch ; both still crazy youthful; at winery restaurant with paneed beef and caramelized onions! — 6 years ago

Tried to round up as many ‘15 Reisling as I could. I prefer rs to the Trocken style (not that I dislike it) & this rich feinharb hits the sweet spot- it’s that triangle of acidity, sweetness & fruit but it’s so perfect in its balance. And the wife likes it. Very, very good, especially for under 18$ — 6 years ago

This smells intensely of sage and sage flowers, along with passion fruit, grapefruit and elder flower. (“I am Scheurebe, hear me roar!”) Given such a resounding opening gambit, the wine proves (relatively!) discreet on the polished palate, turning in a coolingly minty and melony direction while preserving such luscious fruit as well as herbal pungency as the aromas promised. The terrifically-sustained finish is infectiously juicy, exhibiting overt but perfectly-integrated and supportive sweetness. Sage, grapefruit zest and smoky black tea accents serve for invigorating counterpoint. On occasion, the Rumpfs have demonstrated that these vines in the Dautenpflänzer can yield Scheurebe capable of playing in the Pfeffingen or Müller-Catoir league – and this is one of those delicious occasions. (On the heels of this beauty – on November 2, 2018 – I tasted a dry 2018 Scheurebe trocken, from fruit harvested in mid-September, that was already improbably delicious; but the Dautenpflänzer Scheurebe grapes from 2018 had been picked only a few days before I visited!)
