Karl Schaefer "Schöne Anna" Dürkheimer Spielberg Riesling Spätlese, Pfalz, Germany 2022

FROM TERROIR WINES:

THE WINE: ‘Schöne Anna’ is our homage to Anna Bergner, cook at the ‘Vier Jahreszeiten’ inn, who worked magic with her culinary skills and also produced a classic of its genre with her 1858 “Pfälzer Kochbuch” cookbook. ‘Schöne Anna’ is always a ‘Spätlese’ or late vintage, and is produced with residual sweetness.

THE PRODUCER: Founded in 1843, the winery first gained prominence under its namesake Karl Schaefer. Today it is run by the 6th generation of the family, Dr. Job and (is it Nana or Nell?). Shaefer has been a member of the VDP (Association of Quality Wineries) for over 100 years, and is certified organic.
