Wines made from Silvaner grapes of France
Discover the best wines made with Silvaner as a single variety or as a blend of France.
Lively, structured dry whites with a pale golden robe, a taut palate and preserved acidity, showing refined and understated aromas of citrus (lemon), white flowers (acacia), green apple, fresh herbs and calcareous mineral notes. A terroir variety for young or aged drinking, with perfect soil transparency. The undisputed star of Franconia VDP, present in Alsace AOC and Austria. An indigenous Austrian variety, also called Sylvaner or Grüner Silvaner.
France, home of Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne, is arguably the world's largest wine-producing country. For centuries, it has produced more wine - and apparently better quality - than any other country. Wine is embedded in French culture at almost every level of society; it is the drink of the elite and the common people, and a key symbol of Roman Catholicism, the majority religion in France. However, the lasting appeal of French wine is not necessarily its Volume or prestige, but rather the variety of styles available.
