Grafen Neipperg, Württemberg (Germany) Lemberger 2011

Jul 9, 2013

By Michael Franz

If you know a wine snob gasbag who needs to be taken down a peg, this wine will do the trick if served blind to him.  That’s not its only usefulness by a long shot, however, as it is much more than a mere curiosity.  Medium bodied, with expressive red berry fruit, fresh acidity, and a pleasant earthiness, this would prove an idea summertime foil for grilled pork or duck.
