Hans Wirsching Iphöfer Julius-Echter-Berg Silvaner VDP.Erste Lage dry 2020

A prime example of Franconian wine culture

This Silvaner from VDP.Erster Lage is clearly influenced by the Julius-Echter-Berg: Its soil is mixed with shell sandstone and gives the wine its unmistakable spice and fruitiness. Fine nuances of quince and apple characterise its bouquet. Its full power is revealed in the taste: Here, the minerality and the spicy note from the Keuper soil are clearly expressed. Its mild acidity and the clear fruit aromas make this Silvaner an elegant drinking pleasure.

Completely dry, bottled in a Bocksbeutel and from the top Franconian location Julius-Echter-Berg – this Silvaner is a prime example of Franconian wine culture. The classic from the Hans Wirsching winery shines with a long finish and goes perfectly with fried fish or pork medallions.
