Silvaner [Nakt] 2022

The Silvaner parcel is located on the Keuper and has not been pruned since 2012, but merely wound. The Silvaner [Nakt] consists of two batches. One quarter is stored in a buried Spanish amphora below the winery, while the remaining three quarters are matured in used Palatinate oak barrels. The [Nakt] series undergoes neither sulphur nor filtration.

In August 2023, it was then filled into sparkling wine bottles and sealed with crown corks. This ensured that the fermentation process continued, so that the Silvaner is now completely dry with a slim 10.5 vol. alcohol and slightly effervescent carbon dioxide.

Bright golden yellow with a slight cloudiness. The carbon dioxide is extremely active and fine-pearled, leaving behind a fine, creamy mousseux

Wild and nutty on the nose. Silvaner [Nakt] is a purist. Fresh hazelnut, green walnut and a hint of almond flow from the glass. This is perfectly accompanied by hay from wildflower meadows in the Alps. Rosehip tea and a hint of camomile slowly but surely make their presence felt. The intensity of the flowers becomes dominant. Apple, camomile and almond stand out. Some candied ginger, quince juice and fresh baked apple from the oven - with marzipan and sultanas, of course.

It continues this game seamlessly on the palate. Compact and enormously tight-knit. Cool, refreshing and accompanied by a suddenly burgeoning ethereal spiciness. Its fine phenolic structure forms the backbone and provides a good feel. The carbonic acid provides energy and drinkability. The flavour remains true to the nose. Nutty flavours, wild herbs and warm, ripe apple define the finish.
