I had never heard of Scheurebe grape, until I read a fascinating book by a papillae et molecules (Quebec) Canada's top sommeliers and writers, François Chartier. This book offers new perspectives on food and wine pairings. Chartier is a member of that variety, which he calls the twin brother of Gewürtztraminer and a cousin of Sauvignon Blanc. He cited a cross between Riesling and despite the marketing materials in a variety unknown.Between you and me, crosses grapes are usually not so good. Note the word in the rule. We give this variety a chance. For the purposes of full disclosure, I recently translated into English and Chartier to write more about them once the book is published.
The Palatinate is a very special area in southwest Germany, near the border with Alsace, France. How to Alsace, which is the wine country. This is a wine route for exploring the local production.

Pfeffingen Scheurebe Late Harvest 2007 11.0% alcohol about $ 21
We begin by quoting the marketing materials. Description: Scheurebe is to discover a wonderful variety. A cross of Riesling andSilvaner, this type was developed (and named) known viticulturalist Dr. Georg Scheu. The grapes grow in sandy soils, so Pfeffingen sand and limestone rich Ungstein Mr. Vineyard is an ideal home. This wine expresses the rich grapefruit, lime and mineral character. The sweetness is balanced by moderate acidity, melted, resulting in a lip-smacking finish. And now for my review.
At first sip of wine was absolutely delicious. That combination of sweetness andAcid. The first pair of slow cooked beef ribs, which were accompanied by potatoes and salsa too spicy with tomatoes, onions, lemon, coriander and paprika. The wine was an important part in dealing with fatty meats. It 'the sweetness was not a problem. The dominant taste was grapefruit. E 'became more acidic with potatoes. The wine is lemon lime in the sauce, tame its spice. Dessert was fruit orange caramel, which succeeded the muteWine, who also lost acid. I was in wine, and there were still some candy left. But there was no way I would the wine for this type of waste candy.
The next meal was more traditional for a sweet white wine, which is grilled chicken with roasted potatoes, chicken fat, which was a moderately spicy tomato salad oriental. The Scheurebe was very good and filling his mouth with a good blend of sweetness and acidity to cope with the chicken breast. It has helped to make the flesh ofDrought. The results were essentially the same with a delicious, moist chicken thighs. With potato acid increased the wine to wash before (tasty), fat large. The wine was longer when combined with the salad.
The last meal in a portobello mushroom omelet centered. The Scheurebe has been refined and powerful, a bit 'has gone a long way. This wine is elegant. Dessert was a cake of high quality French-style lemon with a very buttery crust. The wine was thin, but stilldelicious.
I ended with a tasting of two local cheeses herring, herring below. With the herring, the wine has been long and sweet with a pleasant lime flavor. If, before a brick of cheese Scheurebe retained its pleasant sweetness and a slight hint of grapefruit. In the presence of Swiss cheese wine tasty flavor of lemon and honey.
final verdict. This is a resounding yes. I'm developing a taste for sweet wines high-Germanic, and this is one of the best I've tastedin a long time. I would suggest that this, or perhaps some of its less expensive cousins, which I recently reviewed a possibility. You may be pleasantly surprised. And gone are the prejudices of hybrid varieties.
