"If it doesn't challenge you it doesn't change you" ... from Franconia's greatest and most terroir friendly variety. Silvaner finds superlative expression when grown in its Bavarian stronghold north-east of Wurzburg. The 'S' here signifies a dry 'spatlese' quality wine and captures the immense mineral expression from this steepest of vineyards sites ... prepare to be changed forever!
Horst Sauer Escherndorfer Lump Silvaner S. Trocken wine is from an 'Erste Lage' or 'First Class' vineyard site with a steep, south-facing slope. Inviting white spice and floral aromas, whilst the palate is nervy, vibrant with peach fruit and lovely texture. A bright acid backbone adds structure and elegance. Fabulous with shellfish, scallops and summer salads.
