Trocken Rheinhessen Scheurebe
Rheinhessen, Germany
The effort that went into this wine... Insane... I can still remember Julia's satisfied expression at the end of it. She proudly exclaims - this will be a £15 wine... we do it for ourselves because we love this wine. I learnt a lot from this wine and finally tasting it is an experience that will stick with me for life. For me, this is the baby 17' G-Max!
In case you're wondering, we spent an entire day picking these grapes from old Scheurebe vines in the La Borne section of Morstein. Pre-sorting in the vineyard and handling the grapes with utmost care... Placing... NOT THROWING them into small red containers. One could easily mistaken this for the legendary G-Max when picking. This was followed by two days of sorting in a cold cold cellar. Only perfect ripe berries were allowed. Crazy!

In 2014, this wine was never commercialised, so needless to say that this was a rare occasion. While fruity and "nice" on the nose, this wine is all about palate presence; and in order to appreciate it, grapefruit MUST be your preferred taste. Blonde, pink and red grapefruit intermingles beautifully and all contribute to this wine's complexity.
