A killer “basic” Sylvaner from Stefan; ultra-fresh florality and absolutely glowing with a bright, detailed and complex fresh-sour citrus. The 2021er is ultra-delicate, the citrus skin studded with a garden of herbs and fresh sea air.

Vetter’s technique is worth noting, as it’s unique. The basic Sylvaner is sourced from younger vines around the terraced vineyard. The grapes are whole-cluster pressed without any maceration or crushing and put directly into old/neutral barrels. The wine is topped up while in barrel, but not sulfured. The wines are normally racked only once and then bottled unfined and unfiltered with lower SO2.
