I mentioned in previous blogs that I had tasted wines from four out of the eight growers in Scharzhofberg. The offering from Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt was the second one I had tried. So it was a nice surprise to find the above wine in the Food Expo in which I found my 4th wine. It was not just a Scharzhofberg wine but a special cuvee of their Auslese - Fuder 10 with a long gold capsule and from the small but (for Saar) exceptional 2005 vintage.
The wine was a deep yellow with a sweet luscious nose full of stone fruits like peaches and apricots. This abundance of sweet luscious frutiness carried on in the palate, well supported by an acid backbone that showed some notes of prunes (usually more associated with red rather than white wines). Nice!
So now all four of the Scharzhofberg wines I have encountered are on the blog!
