Hans Wirsching - Scheurebe Trocken 2022 (Pre-arrival) (750ml)

In the early 1950s, Hans Wirsching renewed his pioneering efforts, and along with Karl Fuhrmann at Pfeffingen, obtained Scheurebe cuttings from the Annaberg and transplanted them to the Kronsberg vineyard. We can credit both men for leading the charge in elevating Scheurebe, a hybrid of Riesling and Bukettrebe, whose aroma is sometimes reminiscent of blackcurrant, pink grapefruit or lychee

Weingut Hans Wirsching, situated in the picturesque medieval town of Iphofen in Franconia, an hour and a half east of Frankfurt, is one of the top producers of Silvaner and Scheurebe in Germany. Now in its 14th generation, the Wirsching family, led by Andrea Wirsching, focuses on Silvaner (40%), the signature grape of the Franconian wine area. 20% of their vineyards are planted with Riesling, the classical German grape, and 7% with Scheurebe, a fruity, aromatic grape variety that first gained prominence in the 1950s.
