"Handwriting" QbA dry

An approachable Palatinate red wine with a clear origin and ready-to-drink character — Handschrift is the everyday wine from the Lergenmüller house, which doesn't take any major detours.

The Lergenmüller winery is one of the established names in the Palatinate. The region between the Haardt Mountains and the Rhine plain boasts some of Germany's warmest wine-growing areas—long ripening periods and fully ripe grapes are the rule here, not the exception. "Handschrift" ( Handwritten Signature) represents the uncomplicated, expertly crafted end of their range: not a single-vineyard wine, not aged in oak barrels for extended periods, but honest Palatinate fruit.

In the glass, the wine displays dark cherry and blackberry, with a hint of red plum. The body is medium-bodied, the tannins soft and well-integrated—no need to decant. The finish is short to medium-long with a touch of spice.
