Simple, lively dry whites with a pale golden robe, an airy palate with preserved acidity. Understated aromas of citrus and white flowers. Disease-resistant. Now marginal, surviving in a few heritage French plots; one of the older hybrids preserved in varietal collections and a parent of Seyval Blanc. A French white hybrid obtained by Albert Seibel (Seibel 4938) in the early twentieth century.

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: Green harvest or green harvesting

The practice of removing excess bunches of grapes from certain vines, usually in July, but sometimes later. This is often necessary, but not always a good thing, as the remaining grapes tend to gain weight.
