Nico Espenschied Scheurebe Heart + Hand White Wine Dry QbA (6 x 0.75l)

• STORY: Nico Espenschied is deeply rooted in Rheinhessen. While he let the wind of the great wine world blow in his face in Burgundy, Sonoma Valley or Burgenland, Nico learned that often enough things happen in the vineyard and cellar that are absolutely contrary to textbook opinion and that trust in nature is the most important thing.

• AGEING: selective manual harvest, maceration for three days, gentle pressing and sedimentation. 100% spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel until the beginning of January. Expansion and storage on the full yeast until filling. No enrichment, no fining or stabilizing agents.

• AROMA: Wonderfully herbal and spicy on the nose – with more air, the scent of grapefruit and cassis is flattering.

• EVALUATION: Lots of juice on the palate and a fine play of aromas from ripe berries; The terroir from the red rock (Flonheimer Geisterberg location) provides additional grip.

• SERVING RECOMMENDATION: Seafood, Asian cuisine, vegetable paella with olives

Originally. Unconventional. Lively. That's Nico Espenschied's motto. Nico Espenschied is deeply rooted in Rheinhessen. While he let the wind of the great wine world blow in his face in Burgundy, Sonoma Valley or Burgenland, Nico learned that often enough things happen in the vineyard and cellar that are absolutely contrary to textbook opinion and that trust in nature is the most important thing. That's why he and his wife Laura trust their gut feeling and let nature have the last word. They want their wines to be authentic and bring a little MORE home into the glass with each vintage. They separate their grapes from the juice late and press them very gently or not at all. Only the coarsest part is removed and the wine is left on the mother lees for a long time after spontaneous fermentation has taken place. If possible, no filtration is used. In the end, there are wines with a lot of hand and even more heart, of amazing maturity and individuality, which Gault Millau is currently hailing as a "very strong piece of Rheinhessen".
