 |  | Stefan Meyer Ein Liter Rhodt | 2018 Pfalz, Germany 12% ABV | Regular Price: $18 |  |
Referring to a German red wine as lush, clean and juicy (and dare I suggest "the perfect house red wine") is a crazy thing to say. Nobody thinks of German red wines as being the ideal bottle to open for a picnic, an impromptu barbecue or a gathering of friends. Can you imagine the shock on people's faces if you brought out a liter of German red wine for your guests to enjoy? I know it sounds mad, but here is a wine that delivers on this grand boast: Stefan Meyer's Ein Liter Rhodt. It is a bottle that will be your favorite house wine for any occasion. And the faces of your guests? Once they taste the wine, they will be filled with smiles. |
| Powerful Tradition  The Meyer family has lived in Rhodt, a village in the Pfalz region of Germany, since the Middle Ages. However, it wasn't until 1950 that Karl Hermann Meyer founded the family winery when he first began bottling his own wine. Today, Stefan Meyer is the third generation to run this 8 hectare estate. Stefan fully respects and continues what he calls the "powerful tradition" his father and grandfather created in the winery, while also embracing innovation and modernization. The Meyer vineyards are located in Rhodt unter Reitburg, a village situated next to the Palatinate Forest. All work in the vineyard is organic, and all Stefan's wines are spontaneously fermented for maximum complexity. |
A Liter of Red  The name, Ein Liter Rhodt, is a play on the fact that the name of Stefan's hometown (Rhodt) is pronounced like rot, the German for red, (both rhyme with boat.) This juicy, easy drinking wine is bottled in liter size, which is a good thing because a 750 mL bottle would be too small! Ein Liter Rhodt is the ideal wine to bring to a lunch in the park or a party or enjoy on a beautiful day. Made from a blend of Frühburgunder, Saint Laurent, Dornfelder and Cabernet Franc, this wine is full of bright red fruit, soft tannins and a refreshing acidity. Aromas and flavors of sour cherry, blackberry and raspberry explode from the glass, underpinned by a subtle spice note. The simplicity of this wine is its genius: it is actually very difficult to achieve the perfect level of ripeness in these grapes, and to then make a wine that is clean, precise and harmonious. Enjoy lightly chilled while grilling bratwursts or with wiener schnitzel and spaetzle. This is also a red wine that is especially friendly with spicy foods! |
