Wines made from Sylvaner grapes of Eastern Switzerland
Discover the best wines made with Sylvaner as a single variety or as a blend of Eastern Switzerland.
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.
German-speaking Switzerland (Ostschweiz) grouping Aargau, Zurich, Schaffhausen, Thurgau, St. Gallen and Graubünden. Pinot Noir (Blauburgunder) signature red king (~70%): fine and silky with notes of red cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, dried flowers and spice, fine tannins and elegant palate — the Bündner Herrschaft (Graubünden) produces Switzerland's finest Pinots. Supple Müller-Thurgau, floral Riesling-Sylvaner, ample Chardonnay.
