2021 Sylvaner Muschelkalk

Deutscher Landwein Main
Sylvaner
White wine

The Gambacher Kalbenstein is a terraced vineyard site along the Main River. The transition from limestone (Muschelkalk) to red sandstone (Sandstein) in the middle of the appellation allows us to showcase the Sylvaner's ability to express the specifics of the soil in a very transparent manner. This wine is sourced from the river’s upper part of the terraces, which features a steep and warm plot with limestone soil. The chalky nature of the limestone soil imparts a charm that is distinct from the sandstone. The grapes are gently whole-bunch pressed and aged for two years in barrel. Nothing less.
