More informations about the variety Sylvaner
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.

Largest wine region of the canton of Zurich (~220 ha) north of Winterthur as far as Schaffhausen, mild and sunny climate. Blauburgunder (Pinot Noir, majority) is the signature red: fine and silky with red cherry, raspberry, undergrowth and a spiced note, melted tannins. Räuschling is the rare native white (nearly exclusive to the canton): dry and mineral with citrus, white flowers and a herbaceous note, taut acidity. Fresh Müller-Thurgau as a complement.
