Franconia Winegrowing Region: Christian Stahl Vineyard Wine

Franconia Winegrowing region: Wine has been cultivated in Franconia’s vineyards and cellars for over 1,200 years. Once virtually only produced by monasteries, today it’s in the capable hands of many professional winemakers. The Franconian vines thrive on around 6,300 hectares. Just under 85 per cent of the vines are destined for white wines – primarily Silvaner, Müller-Thurgau and Bacchus. But the red wines are equally superb, some of them are velvety, some fruity and some piquant. Christian Stahl Vineyard The Stahl vineyard is younger than the majority of vineyards that it manages. Which is probably why Christian Stahl found it easy to disregard Franconian wine folklore. Instead, he offers high-quality contemporary wine. His wines are popular with his discerning customers and top eateries and have received excellent reviews in wine publications. In 2008 the renowned wine journalist Stuart Piggot designated Christian Stahl “Young wine producer of the year”. In 2012 Falstaff Germany named him “Newcomer of the year” and in 2013 the vineyard was given the third grape by the Gault Millau wine guide. In 2005 Christian Stahl took over his parents’ little vineyard (which had previously been an arable and pastoral farm) in Auernhofen near to Rothenburg on the Tauber. At the time, 1.5 hectares were covered in vines. Today the vineyard has 20 hectares of vines with soils made of shell limestone and marl clays on the slopes of the Tauber, Main and Steiger Forest. Wine recommendations: 2013 Scheurebe 0.2 l/0.75 l 9.50/34.00 2013 Silvaner 0.2 l/0.75 l 9.00/32.00 Typical regional dishes: Franconian supper 12.50 Soft cheese and butter delicacy, with liver sausage, grated potatoes, ham, radishes, pickled gherkins and rustic bread Fried Nuremberg sausage 17.50 with mustard, white cabbage salad and potato-onion mash Fried pikeperch 24.50 with peas, lettuce, morels and black Riesling butter .

How to Buy Eiswein Dessert Wine
How to Buy Eiswein Dessert Wine Eiswein is a sweet dessert wine that originated in Germany. This "late harvest" wine is traditionally pressed from grapes that are harvested after they freeze on the vine. "Eiswein" literally means "ice wine," and is called so on some labels. If you want to buy eiswein, know the country and the method that produced the bottle to find the best available "ice wine" for your budget. Does this Spark an idea? Instructions 1. o 1 Locate a local wine store or look on line for wine sellers who carry eiswein. o 2 Look for a bottle that fits your price range. German and Austrian Eisweins, which follow established methods of harvest and production, are the European gold standard. However, many less expensive, but still excellent, ice wines come from Austria, New Zealand, Slovenia, Canada and the United States. Not all producers let grapes freeze naturally before harvesting them at night. This time-honored and labor-intensive method of production, as well as the loss of all but a few drops of juice, explains the higher price of traditionally produced ice wine. Some vintners pick the grapes and then artificially freeze them before pressing. Manage Cellar, Share Tasting Notes Free, powerful, and easy to use! o 3 Pick a colorful and fragrant bouquet. Eiswein is distinguished by the contrast between its fragrant sweetness and acidity. A great eiswein is both rich and fresh. Young eisweins have tropical fruit, peach or berry overtones. Older eisweins suggest caramel or honey. Colors can range from white to rose.

Franconia the Growing Region: Zehnthof Luckert Winery
Franconia The growing region: Wine has been grown on the hills and matured in the cellars of Franconia for over 1200 years. Formerly almost exclusively the province of monasteries, today many secular vintners continue the tradition with care and attention. Franconian vines flourish on 6300 hectares. 85 percent of the wine grown here is white, especially Silvaner, Müller-Thurgau und Bacchus varieties. But the reds are also a treat - sometimes silky, sometimes fruity, sometimes remarkably fiery. Zehnthof Luckert winery Built in 1558, for four centuries Zehnthof in Sulzfeld am Main was a prince-bishopric property until Theo Luckert purchased it in 1970 and turned it into a wine business. It remained for his sons Ulrich and Wolfgang to build it into a winery whose fame extends far beyond the borders of its Franconian home. Its 17 hectares of vineyard stretching across the premium Franconian locations of Maustal and Cyriakusberg are planted mostly in Silvaner and Müller-Thurgau. All of the slopes are naturally green and since 2007 the Luckert family has been cultivating certain parcels fully organically. After careful picking by hand, the grapes are gently pressed and the must is matured in 2400 l barrels under the ancient arches of the cellar. In 2009 leading German wine guide Eichelmann gave Zehnthof the highest rating, with 5 stars and “world class.” This judgement has remained unchanged since. Recommended wines: 2015 Silvaner Muschelkalk dry 0.2 l/0.75 l 10.00/34.00 2015 Pinot Blanc 0.2 l/0.75 l 10.50/36.00 Characteristic local dishes: Nuremberg chopped bread 14.50 Nuremberg sausage-style beef tartare on toasted rustic bread with mustard crème and summer herbs Fried salmon trout with potato crust 26.50 Silvaner butter und pea lettuce vegetables Franconian vintner-style flank steak 32.50 with onion crème, caramelized onions, romaine lettuce hearts and smoked peeled potatoes .

Aglianico from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
Aglianico From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Aglianico (pronounced [aʎˈʎaːniko], roughly "ahl-YAH-nee- koe") is a black grape grown in the Basilicata and Campania Aglianico regions of Italy. The vine originated in Greece and was Grape (Vitis) brought to the south of Italy by Greek settlers. The name may be a corruption of vitis hellenica, Latin for "Greek vine."[1] Another etymology posits a corruption of Apulianicum, the Latin name for the whole of southern Italy in the time of ancient Rome. During this period, it was the principal grape of the famous Falernian wine, the Roman equivalent of a first-growth wine today. Contents Aglianico from Taurasi prior to veraison Color of Black 1 History berry skin 2 Relationship to other grapes Also called Gnanico, Agliatica, Ellenico, 3 Wine regions Ellanico and Uva Nera 3.1 Other regions Origin Greece 4 Viticulture Notable Taurasi, Aglianico del Vulture 5 Wine styles wines 6 Synonyms Hazards Peronospera 7 References History The vine is believed to have first been cultivated in Greece by the Phoceans from an ancestral vine that ampelographers have not yet identified. From Greece it was brought to Italy by settlers to Cumae near modern-day Pozzuoli, and from there spread to various points in the regions of Campania and Basilicata. While still grown in Italy, the original Greek plantings seem to have disappeared.[2] In ancient Rome, the grape was the principal component of the world's earliest first-growth wine, Falernian.[1] Ruins from the Greek Along with a white grape known as Greco (today grown as Greco di Tufo), the grape settlement of Cumae.

Und HERBSTWEINFESTE Und IHRE GEBRAUCHE / SUMMER and FALL WINE FESTIVALS and THEIR CUSTOMS Wine Festivals Abound in Germany
HAVE GERMAN WILL TRAVEL FESTE "Bei uns ist immer was los!" Feste im Herbst SOMMER- und HERBSTWEINFESTE und IHRE GEBRAUCHE / SUMMER and FALL WINE FESTIVALS and THEIR CUSTOMS Wine festivals abound in Germany Over 1,000 wine festivals take place in Germany's 13 wine regions each summer and fall, offering visitors a chance to sit back and sip the fruits of the countryside. You might just find yourself shouting "Rah Rah Riesling!" or learning first-hand the subtle differences between the Spaetlese and Auslese varieties at one of Germany's thousands of wineries, the majority of which are family-owned small businesses. Many of these festivals will take place in the river vaneys of the Moselle, the Saar, and Ruwer Rivers, as well as the Rheingau and Baden regions, all popular with summer tourists to Germany. For many of the smaller German towns, wine festivals extend across the entire wine-growing season. Thus it is no surprise to see events such as "Sekt Fest.. or "Riesling Fest," special celebrations honoring what Germany's long and varied tradition of world-class wine-growing . The future looks golden - with a delightful nose - for Germany's winegrowers. The year 2004 marked the first t ime in Germany's recorded history that wine sales surpassed those of beer. Visit the German Wine Institute to keep abuzz of upcoming wine festivals and visit the German Nat ional Tourist Office to cover all of your travel needs. - --- Wine Festivals In the late summer and in autumn, wine festivals are celebrated in all wine growing regions: on the Rhine, in the Palatinate, on the Moselle, Nahe, Ruwer and Saar rivers.

Elucidation of Odour-Potent Compounds and Sensory Profiles of Vidal Blanc and Riesling Icewines from the Niagara Peninsula: Effect of Harvest Date and Crop Level
Elucidation of Odour-potent Compounds and Sensory Profiles of Vidal blanc and Riesling Icewines from the Niagara Peninsula: Effect of Harvest Date and Crop Level Amy J. Bowen, B.Sc. Department of Biological Sciences Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Mathematics and Science, Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario © Amy J. Bowen, 2010 Abstract It was hypothesized that the freeze/thaw cycles endured by icewine grapes would change their chemical composition, resulting in unique chemical fingerprint and sensory properties, and would be affected by harvest date (HD) and crop level (CL). The objectives were: 1) to identify odour-active compounds using gas chromatographic and sensory analysis; 2) to determine the effect of CL and HD on these compounds; 3) to determine the icewine sensory profiles; 4) to correlate analytical and sensory results for an overall icewine profile. CharmAnalysis™ determined the Top 15 odour-potent compounds in Vidal and Riesling icewine and table wines; 24 and 23 compounds, respectively. The majority of the compounds had the highest concentrations in the icewines compared to table wines. These compounds were used as the foundation for assessing differences in icewine chemical profiles from different HD and CL. Vidal and Riesling icewine were made from grapes picked at different HD; HI: 19 December; H2: 29 December; H3: 18 January; H4: 11 February (Vidal only). HI wines differed from H3 and H4 wines in both Vidal and Riesling for aroma compounds and sensory profiles. - Three·CL [control (fully cropped), cluster thin at fruit set to one basal cluster/shoot (TFS), and cluster thin at veraison to one basal cluster/shoot (TV)] were evaluated for Riesling and Vidal cultivars over two seasons.
