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.
Swiss vineyard in the canton of St. Gallen in the Rhine valley between Bündner Herrschaft and Lake Constance (~220 ha), steep south-facing slopes favoured by the föhn wind that concentrates sugars. Signature Pinot Noir ("Blauburgunder", majority): elegant and silky with red cherry, raspberry, undergrowth and spiced hints, fine tannins and alpine freshness — eastern Swiss reputation. Signature Müller-Thurgau in white (aromatic, citrus, flowers, apple).
