Wines made from Sylvaner grapes of Morava
Discover the best wines made with Sylvaner as a single variety or as a blend of Morava.
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.
Predominantly white region, lively and mineral: crisp, peppery Grüner Veltliner, taut Riesling with citrus, supple, floral Müller-Thurgau, aromatic Pálava, the local signature (muscat, white flowers). More discreet reds: spicy Frankovka (Blaufränkisch) with black fruits, fine, silky Saint Laurent. Temperate continental climate, 4 sub-regions: Mikulov, Velké Pavlovice, Znojmo, Slovácko. ~96% of the Czech vineyard, 73 grapes grown.
