Weingut Brand
Wilder Satz Pur Müller-Thurgau Blend
Pfalz, Germany
Wine 7/12 (White Field Blend)
Nose has straw bales, honey candy, salt toffee, dried lemon peel, minor cider vinegar and quite wilted daffodils.
Palate has salted lemon slice, grapefruit pith, honey, tart yellow apple, sea salt and oh the astonishing acidity with a long finish. Amazing, alive!
Been waiting to get my hands on anything from the Brand bros. for quite some time, would love the rosé, but this German take on Gemischter Satz is also right in my lane! Funk welcomed.
Once again it is notable that I have made one full trip around the Sun earlier this week. We had our small, social bubble team to the house for celebrating my getting older and somewhat less flexible in advancing age...Whatever will be done when I creast 50? Well, at least it's several years until needing manage that concern.
We enjoyed well-salted Ribeyes (Kinderhook Farm - Valatie, NY, prepared 48h in advance), turning to a beautiful medium-rare after a mere 12m of grill time and smashed, small red potatoes with capers (yeah try it, don't judge me yet). None of the bottles were particularly planned as 'steak wines'; we didn't care as it really was a wine nerd-fest of grapes/regions, from Burgenland, Austria to Brittany, France. Wine and food were on individual plateaux today. This was the vom Boden Spring Experience case, expertly curated by Stephen Bitterolf, and well received by our tasting crew.

Lemon peel, salt, honey. Got that funk but the more I drink it’s a little sweet and sippable

Grapefruit lemon pith wet grass and sunshine...this cloudy effeminate skin contact is both salty and sour. High acid. Just yes.

Salt, lemon, grass. Probably should have saved this for a day when it didn’t snow.

Light effervescence. Butter pithy tartness. Sparkly and sour on the front. High acid. Bright bitter finish, citrus rind (hi lemon).
