Andi Weigand, Silvaner 2021 750ml

Personality: An old school and really interesting interpretation of Silvaner, showing how deep and compelling can this variety get.

Vineyard: 50+ years old vines on Keuper soil (marl and limestone), certified organic

Making of: Grapes are hand-harvested, then direct pressed to 10-year-old 1250 liter barrels with an 80-year-old basket press. Juice ferments spontaneously and is left for 10 months on the full lees in barrels. The wine is bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with zero addition of sulfur.

Winemaker's Note: “Silvaner is the most important grape variety in Franken and it is a labor of love to give this amazing grape variety as much respect as it deserves by making wine from old vines planted on the amazing Keuper soil. A love that I dream of sharin’, like A$AP Rocky in his famous hit.”
