This traditional winery is one of Germany’s hidden secrets, producing the world’s greatest Silvaner—a bold dry white wine found only in this part of the world, Alsace and one winery in California. The onion-shaped bottle known as the bocksbeutel (and known to old-timers as the Mateus bottle) is the traditional vessel for the Franken Region, but many producers are giving it up to better accommodate modern wine racks. Pity. The wine is as distinctive as its bottle. There are lovely florals of orange blossom in the aroma, then BAM! the super-dry, crisp, minerally cold wine hits you like a jolt of electricity. Serve as an aperitif or with smoked trout and cheeses. You’ll love this one! It also pairs exceedingly well with a plate of sushi and sashimi! And if you don't have any raw fish handy, a nice piece of broiled sea bass or halibut will also make mouths sing.
