Welcome back Noshies Fans! This week we are going to explore the lovely country of Germany and the beautiful wines this land produces.
Up first we are going to try Carl Ehrhard’s Blanc De Noirs (which translates to white of blacks). This process allows wine makers to turn red wine grapes into white wine. The way this process works is when red grapes are pressed and the juice is allowed to ferment after being separated from the skins, the result is white wine, referred to as “blanc de noirs” meaning a white wine from dark grapes. This elegantly created wine is dry and crisp and with loads of acidity which makes this wine ideal for any cheese, charcuterie, seafood and pasta dishes!
Next on the adventure we are going to try a customer favorite and repeat offender. This Rose comes from Pinot Noir grapes and has a lovely light ruby color. We are going to enjoy a beautiful bouquet of strawberries, raspberries, cherries and some grapefruit. The wine was grown in Germany’s Rhine River Valley giving it’s fresh aroma and zippy finish.
Lastly on the tasting, we are going to try Germany’s favorite grape; Riesling. This vastly planted grape through out the land was once close to eradicated now it is considered the superstar of white wine in the world. On the nose we are going to smell strong notes of honey and honeycomb, strong ripe peaches and a dash of oak, while on the finish the acidity and sweetness of this wine creates a beautiful marriage.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
Cheers!
