Klemmer Family Wines

We are truly excited to offer you some high quality, select wines from Germany. The Klemmer Family Winery in Westhofen is located in the German wine growing region of Rheinhessen bordered on the west by the Nahe River and on the North and East by the Rhine River. We refer to them as our sister winery, with whom we have had a very special relationship for many years.

They have made available to us a limited amount of very excellent white wines. We find them especially delightful because of their light to medium body, delicate fragrance, good acid balance, and lower alcohol content. A great alternative to some of the more heavy, buttery and oaky styles of Chardonnay.

The Klemmer Family in Germany also takes great pride in the word Erzeugerabfüllung that appears on their label. Translated this means the same as Estate Bottled. Here again, you have the pleasure of experiencing the balance, flavor, and aroma that are a unique expression of not only the craft of the winemaker, but also of their own personal vineyards in the well known Rheinhessen wine growing region/appellation of Germany.

We look forward to your questions, and even more so visiting us at the winery to taste, discuss, and discover these wines. We think you will be delightfully surprised!

2007 Huxelrebe Auslese
I personally like this wine very much. Nice aromas of pineapple, melons and green apples. A clean fresh taste, with wonderful tropical flavors. A full bodied wine with an excellent balance between the residual sugar (3%) and the nice acidity. Serve this wine well chilled, with deserts, as an apertive, or simply by itself.
$18.00 per bottle

2007 Riesling Auslese – dry
Another great Auslese from the Klemmers! Fully structured, round and harmonious. It has only .45% residual sugar. The wine has a nice mineral component, characteristic of this vineyard site with its shallow soil making the roots grow deep in the ancient limestone to obtain nutrients and moisture, thereby extracting minerals and flavors which are so typical of great Rieslings. A Riesling with a nice long finish. This wine will pair well with pork dishes grilled chicken and grilled seafood.
$18.00 per bottle

2007 Riesling Spätlese
The Riesling grape is often referred to as the Queen of all the white grapes. The most versatile of all wines. This wine is an example of a more typical Rhine Riesling, well rounded with distinctive Riesling structure. The wine has a nice amount of acidity covered by fruit aromas of green apples and grapefruit. The wine also has a slight mineral aspect from the chalky limestone soils in which the grapes were grown. The residual sugar (3.2%) of this wine makes it well suited for hors d’oeuvres, soups, and poultry dishes.
$18.00 per bottle
