Sylvaner
 

 
Sylvaner
grape is originally coming from Austria and was introduced in Alsace only 2 centuries ago.

Grapes grow in the northern part of the Alsatian vineyards and cover about 10% of the vineyards of the Alsace region.

Sylvaner gives the best results in the famous terroir of Zotzenberg. It is the only place where wine makers can  add Sylvaner along with Riesling and Gewurztraminer to rpoduce a great growth wine, one of the best wines from Alsace.

Sylvaner gives a pleasant, fresh, fruity and dry wine. The wine has a pale green colour. Sylvaner offers flower and lemon aromas. It is better when drink young, served as an aperitif or with fish.

Sylvaner is also called Silvaner or Gros Rhin.
