Saalwachter
Alte Reben Silvaner
Back on home turf and kicking it off with the really good stuff.
Shy yellow pear and quince with some hot wet stones and a flowery whiff. Maybe a touch of honey melon. There’s a hint of caramelized nuts.
On the palate this is astounding - starts round & mellow only for the mineral frame to start squeezing it into a beautiful shape. Juicy, zippy appley acidity, nice presence & flow on the mid palate, herby-spicy-savoury in the long finish. This has depth, precision & soul. A beautiful wine!
Blind I’d take this for a really good Burgundy.
50y+ vines on limestone, slowly pressed over 24h and aged 22 months in used wood on the lees. Unfiltered & unfined.
