Sylvaner of Fyn — Profile, Food Pairings & Best Wines | Winedexer
Discover the best wines made with Sylvaner as a single variety or as a blend of Fyn.
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.
Central Danish island (Funen), among the most northerly wine-growing zones in Europe, cool maritime climate tempered by the Kattegat. PIWI disease-resistant varieties are the signatures — Solaris and Rondo leading, Souvignier Gris, Cabernet Cortis and Léon Millot as complements. Taut whites with vibrant notes of citrus, green apple, white flowers and a saline mineral touch. Particularly successful traditional-method sparkling wines.
