Varietal Sylvaner

Sylvaner, also known as Silvaner, is a white grape varietal primarily grown in Germany and Alsace, France. It produces crisp, dry wines with subtle aromas of green apple, pear, and sometimes earthy or herbaceous notes. This varietal thrives in cooler climates and limestone-rich soils, contributing to its unique minerality. Sylvaner wines are versatile, pairing well with a wide range of foods from seafood to lighter meats and vegetarian dishes. Its refreshing acidity and light body make it an excellent choice for those new to wine tasting. Historically, Sylvaner was more widely planted, but it has seen a decline in favor of more popular grapes. However, dedicated vintners continue to produce exceptional Sylvaner wines that showcase its delicate and nuanced character.

Country Germany

As in many Old World countries, the rise of viticulture in Germany came about as a result of the Roman Empire, who saw the potential for vine cultivation in the vast flatlands around the base of the Rhine valley. Indeed, for over a thousand years, Germany's wine production levels were enormous, with much of the south of the country being used more or less exclusively for growing grapes. Over time, this diminished to make way for expanding cities and other types of industries, but Southern Germany remains very much an important wine region within Europe, with many beautifully balanced and flavorful German wines being prized by locals and international wine lovers alike. The hills around Baden-Baden and Mannheim are especially noteworthy, as these produce the high end of the characteristic semi-sweet white wines which couple so perfectly with German cheeses and pickled vegetables. However, all of Germany's wine producing regions have something special and unique to offer, and are a joy to explore and experience.

Region Rheingau / Rheinhessen

The beautiful region of Rheingau in Germany is home to many of the country's most characterful and delicious wines. With a wine history which extends back several centuries, the wineries of this region have generations of experience and expertise when it comes to dealing with their distinctive and flavorful grape varietals, and consistently produce wines which remain popular with global audiences. With Riesling making up for the majority of grapes growing in the region, Rheingau vintners make the most of the cooler climate and high levels of moisture on the valley sides to bring out the best flavors of this grape, as well as allowing it to express the finest features of the terroir. However, plenty of other Germanic and imported grape varietals flourish there, and today the region produces a relatively large range of excellent white wines which are steadily becoming more recognized internationally.

Vinous Media

The 2025 Silvaner was grown in the Appenheimer Eselspfad and Ingelheimer Schlossberg sites. A third was fermented in used wood, two thirds in stainless steel. The nose is all tender quince with a touch of melted candlewax. The palate is utterly juicy, retaining that lovely, waxy texture and just gliding, with that tender stearin and quince backdrop. This is just the kind of wine for your table that you never knew you needed. (Bone-dry)

Winery Notes

For hundreds of years now, Grüner Silvaner has called Rheinhessen home. And of course this spicy and nimble wine is the go-to when it comes to German "spargel" (asparagus). But we believe it is capable of far more than just that. It is the ideal, easy-drinking end to a long, hard day — serve, settle back and savor!
