Overall: I tried this wine for the first time. Taste: dry, moderate to high lemon-like acidity, yellow apples, lightly watery, low astringency, lemon, caramel, vanilla. Aroma: caramel, moderately strong, vanilla. Florian recommended decanting the Bohnapfel 2018. This is a single-varietal apple wine made with Bohnapfel that was aged in French oak barrels that were previously used for red wine. Despite nice apple-y flavours on the palate, I’m not going to be friends with this one. Overall: Again, this was the 3rd time I was tasting this drop (here is full review). Taste: dry, moderate to high lemon-like acidity, moderate astringency, low astringency, off-notes, short taste. Appearance: cloudy, golden, medium carbonation. After the primary fermentation, Schwarze Katze underwent secondary fermentation in the bottle and was aged on lees. The juice was pressed 5 days after crushing, so the fermentation kicked in spontaneously and gave better juice yields. Schwarze Katze is made mainly with Bohnapfel. Other participants were fond of this drop too! 5.5/6 Interestingly, the wild notes were less strong both on the nose as on the palate. Smooth, quite light, nicely balanced with a long-lasting taste. Overall: Just like the last time and time before last time , drinking the Pfannkuchenapfel Schaumwein was a pure pleasure. Taste: dry, moderate lemon-like acidity, yellow apples, smokiness, low bitterness, low astringency. Aroma: caramel, lemon, yellow apples, a distant hint of Bretts. The 2017 vintage was made from apples grown in two locations and bottled in 2018. In addition, it’s a great apple to press and quite similar to Bohnapfel but with less astringency. It’s a typical cooking apple used for baking. Florian mentioned that this apple variety needs a marine/coastal climate and is rare to find in other regions of Germany. It’s not my first acquaintance with this apple wine as I tried it at Florian’s Gutshof Kraatz and also reviewed it recently (click here for the full review) so I was happy to be able to try this beautiful sparkling apple wine again. But, he also brought with him wines that were new to me so I was very excited to taste them.Īltländer Pfannkuchenapfel Schaumwein 2017 (ABV: 8% ) Florian brought a couple of bottles that I have already tried and even reviewed. But they also decided to squeeze in a short stop in Frankfurt and showcase Florian’s apple wines at Apfelweinhandlung before really going on vacation. Their plan was to visit Metz, Luxembourg and Pfalz. For detailed visit recap, click here.Īctually, Florian together with his wife Edda just started their vacation. Actually, it’s not so long ago when I visited Florian in the Uckermark and had a guided tour of the facilities located 200km north of Berlin. One of the great apple wine spots in Frankfurt is the Apfelweinhandlung run by Jens Becker, where recently a tasting of apple wines made by Florian Profiltich of Gutshof Kraatz from the Uckermark took place. Have I already told you that Frankfurt is a fantastic city, especially if you’re into Apfelwein? Apfelwein can be purchased pretty much everywhere here.
