The wine region of Franken
Homeland of German Silvaner: dry, straight, mineral and lively whites with notes of green apple, citrus, fresh herbs and a saline touch, planted here for over 350 years (1,500 ha, a quarter of the vineyard). Also supple, floral Müller-Thurgau, taut Riesling, aromatic Bacchus. Some discreet reds (Spätburgunder). 6,040 ha in Bavaria along the Main around Würzburg, red sandstone and shell-limestone soils.
The word of the wine: Runoff
Failure of the vine flower to fertilize at the time of flowering, when the weather is too cold or rainy. Under these conditions, the vine will have few or no clusters.
