Hans Wirsching 2022 Silvaner Dry 1 Liter, Franken Germany

In Franconia, Silvaner is the most important grape variety, with a 40% share. Wirsching only offers “Franconian dry” Silvaners, i.e. without any tangible sweetness. In the nose, it smells reserved, but on the tongue, Silvaner unfolds its full power. The wine is a bit salty, herbal, sometimes a little flint and pepper in flavor and—depending on maturity and class—some pear or melon as fruity aromas.  Silvaner is the ideal wine to accompany food, especially when the food is prepared as gently and naturally as possible, especially fish and vegetables.  Offered in a one-liter bottle, it just may become your next house white wine.
