The striking difference in vineyard character from the Gottesfuss is evident in the 2006 Scharzhofberger Riesling Kabinett feinherb. White peach and sweetly perfumed floral high tones dominate, rather than the nutty, deep notes or overtly stony manifestation of slate. Structurally, too, this is more delicate in frame, finishing with peach pit piquancy and lemon citricity, refined and slightly spare. (Incidentally, this is at 11.5% alcohol, while the Gottesfuss has 12%.) I would expect this to prove useful at table over at least the next 3-4 years. -We organized early,- says Annegret Reh-Gartner, -and then harvested in two weeks what we usually harvest in four.- She felt her hand was forced on the Saar when many of their vineyards were hailed on September 30, but by the time the crew was mobilized the heavy rain of October 3 was upon them.Various importers including: P.
