The Schäfer family have been organically farming their vineyard parcels in Mettenheim (Schlossberg) and Bechtheim since 1709, and really, when the wine is good, what more could the savvy wine consumer want for $13.00 per bottle? A kerosene top note leads into weighter expressions of white peach, poached pear, and lemon drop. It’s medium-bodied on the palate, without excess weight, and lively white grapefruit-tipped acidic lift courses through the core. A pinch of salinity at the close. 11.8% ABV | Sample
