Schäfer-Fröhlich
Blanc de Noir Trocken Spätburgunder
Nahe, Germany
Great, focused Spätburgunder rosé from the Nahe. Another solid effort from Schäfer-Frölich. Appears there's barely any skin contact; pours a very pale, bright, almost silver-y copper color. Lean 'n' mean. A bit reductive at first; splash it into a decanter a bit before serving and it'll help it blow off though. On the nose, a pile of wet, crushed stone, cranberries, slightly underripe watermelon, a slight herbaceousness and a bit of lager-y lees character. The palate is pretty congruent in term of flavor to the aromatic character, with bright, high acid and just a touch of RS to help round it off and add a little extra oomph to the fruit character. Light, lean body. Incredibly food-friendly wine. Nice companion in this 95 degree heat.

A nice kickoff to spring weather. Very pale color, bright, missing a bit of acidity I was hoping for with this producer. Really good...$24.

Rose of Pinot that is almost pale gold. Citrus and floral nose. Bright cherry, citrus, great minerality and acidity. Dull color, bright taste.
