Warning: a lot of bottle variation, please let a sommelier taste every new bottle opened. This can happen with natural wines, whether it’s worth it or not is a great debate which we shall not repeat at this time. Lol.
Everyone agrees that Stefan Vetter is reshaping the image of wine in Franken. Wild and unfiltered, but equally pure and linear are his wines.
Silvaner is a grape, like Aligoté, which often plays second fiddle to the noble Riesling. But it can make very unique and terroir-revealing wine. The Franken is the only region in Germany where it is traditionally regarded on equal footing with Riesling.
The nose is wild and intense. Huge lemon juice on the nose, zesty zesty zest zest, with a wild fresh grassy note, and some exotic cardamom spice lingering in the background. The wine is intense in its acidity, mouthwatering, but with food at the table it comes together beautifully. So fresh and alive.
