Knewitz Gruner Silvaner Trocken 2023 750ml

For hundreds of years now, Grüner Silvaner has called Rheinhessen home. And of course this spicy and nimble wine is the go-to when it comes to German “spargel” (asparagus). But we believe it is capable of far more than just that. It is the ideal, easy-drinking end to a long, hard day — serve, settle back and savor!

Varietal

Sylvaner

Sylvaner, also known as Silvaner, is a white grape varietal primarily grown in Germany and Alsace, France. It produces crisp, dry wines with subtle aromas of green apple, pear, and sometimes earthy or herbaceous notes. This varietal thrives in cooler climates and limestone-rich soils, contributing to its unique minerality. Sylvaner wines are versatile, pairing well with a wide range of foods from seafood to lighter meats and vegetarian dishes. Its refreshing acidity and light body make it an excellent choice for those new to wine tasting. Historically, Sylvaner was more widely planted, but it has seen a decline in favor of more popular grapes. However, dedicated vintners continue to produce exceptional Sylvaner wines that showcase its delicate and nuanced character.
