Description
This sweet Sylvaner, from the Frankstein grand cru, is harvested when overripe at the end of November. Rich and aromatic, it offers notes of quince, honey, and exotic fruits.
Terroir
This wine comes from an exceptional terroir, the Frankstein, coveted since the Middle Ages.
The steep slopes, facing south-east at an altitude of 300 m, welcome the sun’s rays from the first hours of the day. The soil is made of a two-mica granite arena that filters water and retains heat well, to give it back to the vine during the night.
For this Sylvaner, there is an over-ripening of the grapes and a concentration of noble rot. At the harvest, at the end of November, the grapes had a candied aspect.
Pairing
Exceptional and original, this sweet Sylvaner is an excellent aperitif. It also goes well with Foie Gras or a dessert.
Service
Serve between 8 and 10°C
Ageing
From 5 to 10 years
Vinification
The grapes are picked by hand, then pressed in a pneumatic press. Traditional fermentation under temperature control.
