Let me introduce you to Lemberger
Burg Ravensburg
(baden) 2011, Lemberger Trocken, 13.5%, €18.10 Karwig Wines
A few weeks back, I’d never heard of the grape variety called Lemberger.
Now, I’d like to introduce you all to it. This particular bottle from Germany
showed deep red colours and had lovely flavours of dark fruits (cherry and plum,
for me). On the palate, it unfolded with a velvety feel, juicy, and with
gorgeous flavours of the fruits impressing. Mild spicy traits were also evident
and it has an excellent long finish.
The Lemberger variety was imported to Germany from Eastern Europe,
possibly from Hungary, in the 18th century and has been called the “Pinot Noir”
of the East. A new wine in the Karwig line-up and a super surprise, well worth
a try and Highly Recommended.
