Description
Three generations of the Eymael family have been producing wines from their Weingut Pfeffingen estate vineyards in the Pfalz, situated on the Deutsche Weinstrasse (German Wine Road). To this day, their coat of arms is displayed on the front of every bottle, with its mythical unicorn, which was conferred in 1622 by Emperor Ferdinand II. They farm their vines as mindfully as possible, and have been certified sustainable since 2019. Perfect for Riesling, the chalky soils of the Pfeffingen estate also provide optimal growing conditions for Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) and Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir). However, the specialty of the house is this aromatic varietal named after the grape breeder Georg Scheu, who crossed Riesling and an unknown wild grape varietal in 1916. The result is Scheurebe, this delicious grape variety which yields tropical fruited wines of remarkable quality.
This Scheurebe is grown in the finest vineyards of Weingut Pfeffingen's picturesque estate, where the soil is dominated by limestone. The grapes were harvested by hand, by experienced pickers, and vinified using traditional white winemaking methods. The result is fresh, with inviting aromas of tropical and citrus fruit. The rich, fleshy palate exhibits ripe flavors of juicy mango, followed by passion fruit, grapefruit and papaya. Full and round, but with ample acid, the mouth filling flavors lead to an elegant, mineral infused finish.
