Rich Silvaner from Thörle

A well-known Silvaner from the Frankish region

Traditionally, the German wine region of Franconia is known for Silvaner, but Rheinhessen now also enjoys an excellent reputation when it comes to this characterful white grape. And that is thanks to excellent producers such as Weingut Thörle.

Brothers Christoph and Johannes convincingly demonstrate that in Rheinhessen, in combination with the right terroir (soils of lime and marl in their case), you can make the most beautiful Silvaners. They therefore use top quality grapes: an 'early harvest' of silvaner from the prestigious crus Probstey and Schlossberg.

While Silvaner can sometimes be cumbersome, Johannes is keen to harvest his grapes fresh and juicy, so not overripe. This ensures that the wine retains nice tension and does not become too heavy and alcoholic. The wine ferments and matures predominantly in stainless steel tanks, a very small part matures in 500 liter oak barrels.

With its attractive pear fruit and mild creaminess, this Gutswein is a truly classic and typical Silvaner. The fresh acidity, light spiciness and hints of flint provide a perfect balance. Impressively good for under a tenner and delicious with asparagus!
