This is what good wine from the Huxelrebe grape tastes like

The Huxelrebe is a German white grape variety that produces aromatic, intense wines. Sweet wines, of course, because that's what German winemakers use this grape for.

The Huxelrebe was bred in Germany at the beginning of the twentieth century but only truly gained fame when a certain Frits Huxelrebe took it on tour in the 1950s. It's immediately clear where it gets its name from.

The Huxelrebe grows only in Germany, primarily in the Palatinate and Rheinhessen. It ripens early, has thin skins, and is therefore susceptible to noble rot. It also produces exuberant aromas, ranging from passion fruit, mango, and pineapple to peach and muscat. This makes it ideal for making sweet wines. Generally, these are not wines for long-term aging. Drink them within four years or so.
