Tasting note
Info:
Spontaneous fermentation, ageing in large wooden barrels.
Color:
Bright, sparkling golden yellow.
Nose:
The 2022 Sulzfelder Sonnenberg Silvaner Gelbkalk Erste Lage presents itself earthy and deep on the nose. Aromas of apple, vineyard peach, mirabelle plum and mango mingle with yeasty notes and a little walnut. A fine chalky minerality hovers over it, which, nomen est omen, determines its character.
Palate:
It is just as fascinating on the palate as it is on the nose: in addition to extremely juicy fruit, it has grip and structure and is pleasantly tantalising on the finish with impressions of a delicately salty note. It is virtually predestined to be paired with fine cuisine that combines fruity and herbaceous components.
The carafe and large glasses let him win!
Food pairing suggestions
- Iceberg lettuce with mango and peanut chilli dressing (Vegetable & Vegetarian)
- Carrot soup with ginger and baked prawns (seafood)
- Crispy chicken with cardamom rice, pineapple and coriander(poultry)
