The 2021 Silvaner, with the iconic bottle shape of the Franconia wine region of Germany, is dry, vivid, and mouth-filling, with a youthful nose that plays off the sweet spices, apple, citrus rind, and roasted pear. Silvaner used to be the most widely grown grape in all of Germany at the beginning of the 20th Century, but has mostly faded into obscurity except in Franconia. You will notice notes of honeydew melon, white peach, and lemon cucumber on the palate. The wine is a great pleasure to drink as everything is perfectly interwoven and full of fruit and finesse.
