Silvaner (Allemagne)
À savoir
In Alsace and Austria, the same grape is spelled 'Sylvaner'.
By the mid-20th century, Silvaner was the most widely planted grape variety in Germany. Once making up more than 50 percent of the country's vines, it now only makes up about 5 percent.
Wines from Franken, including Silvaner, are required by law to be bottled in a bocksbeutel, which is a round squat flagon-shaped bottle.

Silvaner from Germany is a dry white wine known for its racy mineral characteristics. It's flavors and aromas are on the lighter side, but sniff well enough and you'll find traces of citrus, apple and black pepper.
The wines are mostly full-bodied with mild acidity.
In Franken—located on the northern part of Bavaria and east of the city of Frankfurt—the wines are bolder, while south of Frankfurt, in Rheinhessen, Silvaner can be more elegant with earthy flavors.
Most Silvaner wines drink best when they're young.
