Schieferkopf Sylvaner Trocken Sec 2018

Silvaner is an underrated, neutral-scented, white-wine grape used widely in western Germany, and just across the Rhine in Alsace where it is spelled Sylvaner. Tiny quantities can also be found in Alto Adige, northern Italy, where it is a specialty of the Isarco Valley.

One of the world's less-revered wine grapes as its reputation falls far behind that of other Germanic varieties such as Riesling and Grüner Veltliner, Silvaner is something of a quiet achiever. It has its devotees in various countries outside of Germany including Romania, Slovakia, Croatia, Austria and the United States.  

In 2018, Silvaner vines covered a mere 4.6 percent of vineyards in Germany, ranking it in the top five of the country's white-wine varieties. However, Riesling outnumbers Sylvaner and remains unchallenged as Germany's icon wine grape. All too often this leads to slightly unfair comparisons between the two varieties.
