STORY: When we visit Uli Metzger at his winery, we can be sure: we will eat well, drink well, sleep well and at least take his new wine home with us for our range. This time we had two in our luggage. The drops, cut exclusively for us, are real fillet pieces from Uli's best locations with its oldest vines.
-
AGEING: stainless steel tank
-
AROMA: A very fresh, aromatic summer wine. Fruit aromas are primarily tropical fruits, grapefruit and pineapple.
-
RATING: The three grape varieties give the wine a varied interplay on the palate of fine sweetness, fruit aromas and lively acidity. The fine residual sweetness is balanced with the opposing acidity.
-
SERVING RECOMMENDATION: Terrace wine, aperitif, with sushi/sashimi or simply for a relaxed get-together with friends and of course with asparagus with melted butter
With a cultivation area of 18 hectares and sales of 150,000 to 160,000 bottles a year, the Metzger winery is one of the larger family-run wineries in the Palatinate. Uli Metzger's ancestors were farmers who ran fields and ranched animals. Father Volker then concentrated on viticulture. But that's not all: if a winegrower has bottled a good wine, he has successfully completed his compulsory portion. But after duty comes freestyle, and now more than ever that means looking good. The Palatinate Uli Metzger from Grünstadt an der Weinstraße masters the compulsory part with flying colors and the freestyle with an ingenious trick. With a lot of self-mockery and a deeper meaning, he "scrambled" his family name and made the cow his heraldic animal. So much creativity immediately piqued our interest. We wanted him to produce a wine that offered fabulous quality, was reasonably priced and was fun. His "splendid" bottled especially for us is perfectly tailored to these wishes. The white wine cuvée convinces with tenderness, liveliness, a lot of melting and an intense taste, while the lightheartedly ironic label has become a real eye-catcher.
