VALCKENBERG GRAPE VARIETIES
For over 230 years, PJ Valckenberg has discovered exceptional German wineries and acted as a brand ambassador for German wines. The Valckenberg grape variety line presents authentic, typical grape varieties from Germany. From sparkling Riesling to strong Pinot Noir, oenologist Tilman Queins shows all facets of German wine growing.
WINEMAKER NOTES:
In retrospect, the winegrowers consider it a stroke of luck that the vines in Rheinhessen sprouted later than usual this year, because the shoots in Germany’s largest winegrowing region were spared the night frosts in April. Compared to previous years, the late start of the harvest in mid-September was also a fortunate coincidence, because beautiful September days contributed decisively to the fact that they were able to harvest “a very appealing vintage”. Ripening in the cool nights produces fruity wines that offer a wide spectrum of aromas even with moderate alcohol content.
TASTING NOTES:
NOSE: sweet fruit, cherry
PALATE: velvety, full-bodied, drinkable
HOW TO ENJOY: open bar, good home cooking
SHELLY GIVES THIS WINE:
🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷 (5 Wine Glasses)
“A medium bodied fruit forward red wine with aromas of baked cherries and strawberries. Lightly sweet flavors of ripe raspberry, blackberry, currant, and vanilla. The smooth velvety tannins accompanied by a touch of sweetness, make this the perfect food partner for beef or pork barbcue or dishes with creamy cheese. I don’t often choose sweet wines – only the exceptional ones grab my attention.” ~Shelly OVW
