Wines made from Sylvaner grapes of Bonvillars
Discover the best wines made with Sylvaner as a single variety or as a blend of Bonvillars.
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.
AOC of northern Vaud (Switzerland, ~190 ha), south-facing slopes over Lake Neuchâtel, calcareous soils, temperate climate. Chasselas is the signature white king: fine and mineral with citrus, white flowers, fresh almond and a chalky touch, taut palate with discreet perlant, thirst-quenching. Airy spiced Pinot Noir as elegant red. Gamaret and Garanoir as complements.
