Silvaner [Nakt] 2018

Information about wine

The Silvaner grapes come from a vineyard that was cut for the last time in 2012. It is only treated with biodynamic preparations anyway. The vines are allowed to grow completely freely and limit themselves. Their grapes are small, compact and numerous. The small berries are partly vinified in Tinaja amphorae buried next to the vineyard, and partly in used oak barrels. Just before bottling, the lots are brought together and bottled unfined, unfiltered and without the addition of sulphur.

Colour

almost silvery straw yellow

Nose

The Silvaner [Nact] has a wild and complex aroma spectrum. At the beginning it reminds somewhat of salty Gose, further of yellow apples and green pears, but also of nutmeg, fennel pollen, some dry earth and hops. Then a little bread crust comes along, also quince, lanolin and Ceylon tea.

Palate

On the palate, the Naturalist becomes more and more complex and it really seems naked, undisguised, pure, authentic as well as silky in its texture and equally silky in the soft but lively acidity. Yes, vital is this Silvaner and has notes of quince, hops, yellow pears and cider apple. At the end, the wine becomes more and more spicy, stimulates the salivation with spicy notes, delivers tannin to the palate, has a pleasant tension and should be an ideal all-rounder as a food companion.
