Burgerspital Wurzburger Innere Leiste Silvaner Erste Lage Trocken 2022

Description

With a wine-growing area of 110 hectares, Bürgerspital wine-growing estate, at home in a fantastically beautiful courtyard right in the middle of Würzburg, is one of the largest wine-growing estates in Germany and one of the most important.

A combination of the estate’s proud tradition, the wonderful vineyards in their splendid locations, the fecund nature of the soil and the climate make up very fine unique quality wines. Long-matured, carefully nurtured and hand-picked, the grapes arrive at the winery in autumn. Here, they are gently and deftly processed, but it is in the cellar where the quality is formed and preserved.

Tasting Notes

Carefully selected from steep slope with old vines, long maceration, spontaneous fermentation and ageing on fine lees in large oak casks. Aromas of yellow fruits and gooseberries, rich and powerful with elegance.

Serving Suggestions

This is a particularly versatile food companion, especially with white meat, fish and seafood or mild white cheeses such as Brie or Camembert.
