Weingut Thörle Rheinhessen Scheurebe Trocken 2024

The Thörle brothers owe their reputation primarily to their fantastic red Spätburgunders and white Rieslings and Silvaners from Rheinhessen. However, the two also have at their disposal a small plot of 'old vines' of the lesser-known white Scheurebe in the 'grand cru' Schlossberg. Their father, Mr. Thörle, had planted these in the 1980s in search of exciting new wines. Especially for us, they produce a delicious, thirst-quenching, crisp, dry white from them.

 

Remarkable, because Scheurebe is primarily used for sweet wines. Just like the Riesling grape, this German cross between Riesling and Bukettraube has an aromatic character and naturally fresh acidity that beautifully balances the sweetness. Slowly but surely, more and more producers are discovering that you can also make wonderful, intensely fragrant dry wines from this grape.

Christoph and Johannes prove this with this very successful variant. The brothers themselves call this wine the German answer to international Sauvignon Blanc. Ideal to enjoy in spring and summer. Given its expressive, slightly exotic aroma and wonderfully fresh, mild, and juicy taste, we fully agree with the brothers. Bring on those sunny terraces!
