2023 Leipold’s Obervolkacher Landsknecht Scheurebe Alte Reben trocken This is an absolute joy to drink. Like sunshine, this puts a smile on your face and is honestly so much fun. Some wines just make you happy, like some sort of distilled potion instantly creating a sense of happiness that lifts you up. An incredibly good Scheurebe bursting with piquant gooseberries and guava. The acidity prickles on the palate in the most playful and satisfying way. The long tangy finish penetrates with sweet ginger spiced tangerines.
Peter Leipold is making a case for himself as a true measuring stick for what can be achieved with Scheurebe. Yum!
