Wines made from Silvaner grapes of Rheinhessen
Discover the best wines made with Silvaner as a single variety or as a blend of Rheinhessen.
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.
71% white region: Riesling is king (5,000 ha), dry to off-dry, ripe yellow fruit, apple, citrus and fine saline minerality. Supple, floral Müller-Thurgau for everyday, the world's largest Silvaner plantation with herbaceous, straight notes. Historic cradle of off-sweet Liebfraumilch. Some supple reds (Dornfelder, Spätburgunder).
