The 2020 Gutedel Heugumber is one of Ziereisen's most successful and stunning wines. This pure Chasselas fermented to fully dry with Mosel-like 10.5% stated alcohol and just 0.4 grams per liter of residual sugar, and it aged on the lees for 20 months in traditional large oak casks. In Napa, they would possibly cook pasta with the 2020, which doesn't miss anything. The wine opens with a fascinating, pure, intense and elegant, discreetly reductive but also finely saline and smoky bouquet of ripe fruits. On the palate, this is a round, elegant and refined yet amazingly intense, saline and structured, even mineral white with quite a long but highly serving finish, namely for dishes with raw fish. This is a lot of (serious) wine for a Chasselas that sells for less than 10 euros ex-cellar. Tasted in November 2022 (L 05 22). ... More details

It means “grasshopper,” and is their basic Chasselas, though it’s hardly “basic” with 13 months on the fine lees. An original, nutty wine that’s as tasty as a dumpling, it should be by-the-glass everywhere!

Country: Germany

If German wine has had something of a bad reputation in the past, it may well be the fault of the fact that for a long time now, the Germans have simply kept all the best produce to themselves. Visit any town or village in wine producing regions of Germany, and you'll be faced with a stunning array of extremely high quality wines, each matched with local dishes and full of distinct character and flavor. As white wine production makes up for about two-thirds of all Germany's wine industry, this is by far the most visible and widely enjoyed type of wine, but one should not overlook the quality and range of rosé and red wines on offer from this fascinating country. In particular, the Spatburgunder wines (the German name for Pinot Noir) are generally of an exceptionally high quality, being full of dark, intense hedgerow fruit flavors and exciting spicy notes with a silky smooth finish.
