The wine region of Würzburg
Wine capital of Franconia (Bavaria) on the Main river, heart of the Maindreieck. Silvaner is the signature white (the "king of Franken", cultivated here for over 350 years): dry and mineral with discreet green apple, pear, citrus, fresh herbs, almond and a chalky note, taut palate and saline finish — grown on red sandstone, shell limestone and Keuper soils. Müller-Thurgau, Bacchus, Riesling and Kerner complement. Legendary vineyard: Würzburger Stein.
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: Phylloxera
Aphid that came from America and ravaged European vineyards at the end of the 19th century. It lives on the roots of the vine, from which it pumps the sap. The only vines capable of resisting it had to be imported from the United States, and then grafted onto their root system the wood of traditional French grape varieties. Today, grafted vines are always planted.
