Discover the best wines made with Sylvaner as a single variety or as a blend of Schaffhausen.
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.
Wine canton of northern German-speaking Switzerland, nicknamed "Blauburgunderland". Signature Pinot Noir (Blauburgunder, 60-70%): fine, silky reds with signature notes of cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, sweet spices and a chalky mineral touch, delicate tannins and taut freshness — compared to fine village Burgundies. Klettgau is the flagship sub-region. Müller-Thurgau whites (local Riesling-Silvaner) lively and fruity (apple, citrus).
