Native Rhône variety.

Lively, understated whites with a tender palate and fresh acidity, with delicate aromas of citrus, white flowers, green apple, hay and typical mineral notes. Light and refreshing finish. Made as easy dry whites and more structured lees-aged cuvées. Star of Alsace AOC (one of the historic varieties), absolute signature of German Franconia (Silvaner on shell-limestone soils) and present in Austria and Switzerland. Central European variety of Austrian origin.
