All about Wine

In contrast to red wine, Weissherbst is made by gently pressing red grapes after destalking allowing only very little of the red pigments into the juice. The result is a delicately coloured light red wine which is a cross between a red and a white.

Weissberbst must be made from one single grape variety which gives the wine a taste all of its own with a great deal of character suitable for drinking on a wide variety of occasions. In principle any red variety grown in Wurttemberg can be vinified as Weissherbst.

The classic local fish dish of char and octopus served with a lemon butter sauce will partner Weissherbst made from Schwarzriesling particularly well.
