Back label says Trocken. Terrific wine, terrific value. Classic musky florals and lychee on the nose, but buoyed up by nice stony minerality. Big Gewurz flavors on entry, but quickly turns minerally and zesty. Bone dry! Nice bitter note cleanses in the finish. To accompany turkey meatballs in a coq au vin blanc-type sauce. — 2 days ago

Fun little wine. Surprisingly dark in the glass. Zippy and tropical (guava, passion fruit, lychee, citrus zest) with a touch of bitter underripe / greenness on the finish. Oh, and there’s a unicorn in the label. What’s not to like about that? — 2 months ago

Nose is age and apricot. As it opens lemon zest. A hint of poop flits in and out which is not great.

Palate is clean apricots. Delicious. Intense. Crunchy minerals. Delicious. Sort of a clean mineral finish.

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!)
