Info about the wine
Altes Maustal, upper shell limestone, approx. 60 year old vines
Color
Bright, sparkling golden yellow.
Nose
The 2022 Sulzfelder Maustal Silvaner GG is a seducer with its distinctive aroma of apricot, ripe quince, stewed pears and sweet, light-coloured flowers. It needs air, lots of air, then aromas of ginger, aniseed and cardamom join in, carried by a distinctive and striking stony minerality. In its youthful stage, you can already sense its great potential for development.
Palate
The fruity and fragrant nose is followed on the palate by a precise, mineral and salty wine with plenty of grip, refreshing acidity and a long finish. It will continue to grow significantly over the next few years and reveal its full splendour. The impatient would do well to decant it or allow it a few days to open in the fridge.
