First a quick note about the grape variety, Scheurebe. It was created in 1917 by Dr Gerog Scheu and is a genetic cross of Riesling and an unknown and possibly wild grape. It is a relatively rare variety with worldwide plantings only around 5,000 acres. It is often characterized by notes of black currants, grapefruit and/or elderflower, and can produce both dry and sweet wines.
This version from Pfeffingen, a specialist of Scheurebe, is packed with pink-blushed white and green tones recalling white grapefruit, drying, fresh-cut green hay, mint stems, spicy Thai basil, green tea, jasmine and peach blossoms. It is so elegantly proportioned, all I managed to write about the balance of texture and flavor was a single word, “perfect.”

Undervalued and frequently mispronounced it offers a wealth of highly aromatic and diverse styles of white wine. Riesling can vary from bone dry, all the way through to lusciously sweet Beerenauslese (BA) and Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA). Its ability to age and transmit the terroir of the vineyard without losing its individual character places it amongst the most noble and academic of grape varieties. Germany is seen as Riesling's Old World home with the greatest concentration in the Mosel Valley, however, plantings have steadily increased across the border in the region of Alsace, France. Most Alsation Rieslings tend to be on the drier side. Even though some Grand Crus contain more sugar, they are still very refreshing and appetizing, due to a high level of acidity.

White wine is a wine whose color can be pale-yellow, yellow-green, and yellow-gold colored. The wine is produced from a variety of grape varieties. The flavor and color comes from the juice of the grape and sometimes the skin of the grape as well. Interestingly, not all white wine comes from white grapes. Some select red grapes are used as in Champagne.
