GP in the blind, "Exotic aromatics, racy, juicy, salty. Could it be scheu?" Great job, GP!
I'm gonna give it a win for me on producer, even though I totally forgot the name "Muller-Catoir". Instead, I described the estate - in the Pfalz, famed for its wildcard varieties, especially rieslaner and scheu, and KP started making rieslaner and scheu because Julia fell in love with the varieties while interning there.
I guess it wasn't a hard guess once the variety was revealed - mainly by method of elimination since hardly any scheu enters Australia, short of the occasional Keller, and none of KP's 17' scheu got in. I think like KP, Muller-Catoir really nailed the 17' scheu trocken. Juicy, dense, spicy, and super energetic. So delicious right now, but I reckon it'll stand the test of time. — 6 years ago

Sweet and fruit comes through. Not cloying. Really enjoyed it and I usually don't like anything close to sweet. — 7 years ago

Nice fruitiness and bit of residual sugar here at 9% Alc. Juicy with ripe citrus and stone fruit.
Just lacking some of the acidic tension and verve I crave. But for $12?!? What’s not to love about the undervaluation of German Riesling? — 6 years ago

You heard it here: scheu is going to be the next trendy wine in NYC (at least to me. . .) / The old vine release from Wirsching packs a lot more nuance than the delicious standard release / guava, mango, pineapple, grapefruit / balanced acidity and a round, juicy body with awesome length — 7 years ago
