Silvaner
Silvaner is an
old variety that once was the most important grape in Germany.
Today, it accounts for some 7% of the country's plantings. A
reasonably abundant producer, it likes average exposure to the
sunshine and needs moist soil. It ripens about two weeks earlier
than Riesling.
Silvaner
makes a rather full-bodied, neutral wine with a mild acidity,
and is generally best enjoyed while young.
