“Wein im Park” in Westhofen

IMG_9451

Vor kurzem fand im Weindorf Westhofen ein kleines Festival statt auf das vorher der VDP per mail aufmerksam gemacht hatte. Für 10 Euro gab es dort 18 Weine der berühmten westhofener Lagen zu probieren. Ein guter Deal, dachte ich mir, und war trotz der Wolken am Himmel prompt vor Ort.

Es gab dort 4 Weinstände. Jeweils einer für die Lagen Kirchspiel, Steingrube und Morstein, Sowie ein Stand für alle von VDP Weingütern angebotenen westhofener Weine. Darunter natürlich die Platzhirsche Keller und Wittmann neben den zwei anderen bekannten Grössen Gutzler und K.F. Groebe.

Interessant war es aber erstmal, Weine von den weniger bekannten Gütern zu kosten. Auch ist es einfach unglaublich, wie viele junge Winzertalente das Füllhorn Rheinhessen zur Zeit hervorbringt, auch abseits der pfiffigen Vereinigung Message in a Bottle. Continue reading

My pride of the weekend. :=) A spontaneous starter creation for a saturday dinner: poached egg on curried shrimp and green peas with mint.

Worked pretty well in my opninion and should be a good basis for further development in the future! Only, I didn’t have a handy wine pairing.

I think a light and fresh white should be perfect, maybe Sauvignon Blanc, or a light Silvaner…

2005 Neckenmarkter Blaufränkisch, Weingut Moric, Burgenland

IMG_9475

This is my second encounter with Moric estate from Austria’s Burgenland region. 2 years ago I tasted the 2007 Neckenmarkt Alte Reben at a wine fair in Berlin and it left a positive impression, rather living up to the hype the estate has seen these last years.

Today’s bottle is a 2005 Neckenmarkter, thus different from the one I had since it isn’t stemming from old (Alte Reben) but from younger vines. I snapped it from some kind of wineshop sale event, not knowing if it might be already over-aged or from a weak vintage… Well, I have to admit: I just jumped on a price that seemed low to me.

2005 Landgeflecht Riesling, Peter Jakob Kühn, Rheingau

Wow! This bottle of Riesling by Rheingau organic and biodynamic pioneer PJ Kuehn really swept me off my feet!

2005 was a strong vintage for Riesling in Germany, yielding lots of excellent dry Rieslings, but also quite a few that seemed a bit overripe.

This one first shocked me with its intense golden nearly fluorescent yellow color, which made me think it could be one of these overripe specimen. Continue reading
