Paul Anheuser 2017 Kreuznacher Scheurebe Nahe

The Paul Anheuser 2017 Kreuznacher Scheurebe from the Nahe region offers a captivating expression of the lesser-known Scheurebe grape: intensely aromatic, beautifully balanced between freshness and sweetness, with a distinctively vibrant character that makes it both accessible and intriguing.

Origins & Craftsmanship
Produced by the historic family estate Paul Anheuser in Bad Kreuznach (Nahe), this 2017 vintage is crafted from Scheurebe grapes grown on the estate’s vineyards in and around the Kreuznach area. Scheurebe—bred in Germany in 1916—is a crossing of Silvaner and Riesling, carrying aromatic potential and finesse. For this release, the fruit was harvested when ripe, with attention to purity and site expression. The wine is vinified to emphasize the grape’s floral-aromatic nature and fine acidity—either fermented to a drier style or with a hint of residual sweetness that highlights the fruit and spice vigour.

Tasting Profile
Nose: An immediate lift of lime zest and subtle smoke opens the bouquet, followed by layers of sweet yellow peach, yellow cherry, and tangerine.
Palate: Medium light in body yet deeply flavourful—vivid tropical touches (mango and pineapple) merge with citrus peel and a gentle spice hint. The balance between fruit sweetness and crisp acidity gives the wine a lively, almost playful energy.
Finish: A lingering, gently sweet finish carries the peach and citrus notes forward, with a clean minerality and refreshing lightness that encourages another sip.
