The white wine Erdreich, vintage 2016 from the winery Weingut Schmitt has been rated in 2018 by Ulrich Sautter with 92 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Bacchus, Gelber Muskateller, Weißburgunder, Grüner Sylvaner from the region Rhine Hesse in Germany.
Bacchus, Muscat, Pinot Blanc and Sylvaner, destemmed and fermented spontaneously on the skins for four weeks. Aged in barrel and bottled unfiltered and without added sulphur in November 2017. It is a rich golden yellow colour with reddish hues. Nutmeg and rose blossom on the nose, with yellow plum, pineapple, ground elder, and balsamic notes. There is good volume on the palate, and with rather loosely knit but grainy tannins. A light oak influence adds roundness, and it has spicy flavours on the finish.
