Tasting notes

Straw colour. Wit air this developed a fine nose; herbal, yet fruity. More red than white. Mostly like wild strawberries and with fine hints of chalk. In the mouth this was a medium bodied and dry silvaner with fine concentration for a QbA. Quite a lot of chalk and herbal notes. Quite elegant. Fine acids and length. Fine foodwine. Very good silvaner QbA indeed. Drinking very fine now and good for the price.

This silvaner showed a nice and sweet nose. In the mouth it was a little young and I suggest giving it a couple of more years. Straw colour. Nose is typical for silvaner, but also shows some more sweetness. Hints of strawberries, green flowers, chalk. Medium bodied and dry silvaner in the mouth. Not as concetrated fruit as expected from the sweet nose. Rather dry and light-feathered. Again there is that hint of strawberries and some fine chalk. Fruit seems a little young and unevolved. The acidity is fine and this has a good length. Fine food-wine. With air it shows some more stucture and more of the fruit. This is a fine, but not great, slivaner that is still on the young side.
