Description of the product
Scheurebe is a crossing of Riesling and the "Bukett grape". It was bred in Rheinhessen and named after its breeder, Georg Scheu, who found this new variety in 1916. The wines made from Scheurebe are full-bodied, have pronounced acidity and a bouquet and taste reminiscent of black currants. Weingut Höfling is a family-owned winery in Eußenheim situated to the Northwest of Würzburg. Almost all of their vineyards are present on slopes and hilly terrain, and most of all of the work in the vineyards is by hands. The people in the winery work very hard and with a commitment to produce unique Franconian wines that show the qualities of the region. So they uses domestic wood and hometown barrels and like the most prized Franken wines were traditionally bottled in a Bocksbeutel, a squat green or brown flagon with a round body, is by Höfling too.
The castle ruins of Gössenheim stand on a large mountain made of wave limestone from the lower Muschelkalk. This characterizes the wines of the location. The soils are interspersed with small splinters of wave limestone and mixed with loess clay. The main location is below the castle ruins, the second, the Arnberg, is a hilltop to the south. The vineyard slopes slope to the south and have a slope of between 25 and almost 50%.
