Wirsching 2019 Iphöfer Kronsberg Silvaner Auslese white wine

Wirsching 2019 Iphöfer Kronsberg Silvaner Auslese (0,375l)

Regular price £23.70
"Quite muted on the nose – way too young to be tasting this now. The acidity is like an electric shock – high voltage, unflinching, so concentrated it takes your breath away. Tightly coiled; lime syrup, spun silk, apricots. Mass of complexity folded and folded and folded again. Leave this to sleep for as long as you can bear."
Tasted by Tamlyn Currin,
wine writer for Jancis Robinson

 

Silvaner has earned a reputation of being the Franken region's specialty grape variety, and this premium wine demonstrates why. The fully ripened grapes were hand-picked at the end of October and were characterised by the vineyards' exceptional micro-climate, created by the steep slopes of Iphöfen. 

Noble fruit flavours and a delicate yet present acid-structure create this Silvaner's distinctive taste.

Food recommendation: This Auslese is a wonderful companion to aromatic cheeses and creamy desserts such as chocolate mousse. It is also a delicious treat in place of a dessert, and therefore adds the finishing touch to a fine menu.
