An organic (BIO) Sylvaner from one of the estate's oldest parcels. Pale yellow with silvery reflections, the nose is expressive with notes of dried herbs and fresh hay, joined by subtler nuances of blonde tobacco, pear, and almond. The palate is very fresh with a beautiful mineral structure.
Old vines give this humble grape real depth — don't overlook Sylvaner when it's made like this.
