"Einfach ein Super-Wein. Das ist optimal. Rotwein, vegan produziert, zu
einem geilen Steak. Megagut!"
translated:
It's a super wine. It's just perfect. A vegan red wine with a great steak.
Fantastic!
What was interesting for me is the way he prepared the wine. This was the last
wine in the tasting, but he opened it at the beginning. He poured the wine
into a glass and put it on the side for 90 minutes. After this he poured the
wine into a second glass to drink it. He said that a good red wine needs to
breathe. Optimally, the wine should be poured into a decanter at least an hour
before drinking it. It's also possible to pour it into a glass if it's not
expected that the whole bottle will be drunk at once.
I've never drunk red wine like this. Maybe I should try it next time I drink a
bottle at home. The only time I've ever used a decanter was at a small
pizzeria in Stuttgart that I used to visit. If you ordered a glass of wine it
was served in a decanter for you to pour yourself.
This is a very dry wine, much drier than I'm used to from Baden wines, but it
still has a fruity taste. David Klenert has every right to be proud of his
creation.
This wine has also won an award. It was given 89 points by judges in the
category of mixed wines. This is evidently a good score, based on David
Klenert's reaction. He admires the certificate almost lovingly.
It must seem strange to my readers that I've written so much about this
selection of Baden wines, since you know that I prefer Württemberg wines. I
went into the tasting with an open mind, and I enjoyed what I tasted. I shan't
drink the wines on a regular basis. Baden wines aren't usually available in
Württemberg, and vice versa, so I have to order them online, which pushes up the
prices. If I include postage, the Klenert wines cost more than twice as much
as the Eberbach-Schäfer wines. The online wine tasting was a special treat for
me. Will I repeat it? I don't know. Maybe.
