Stefan Vetter Franken Sylvaner 2017

Our Score
(5/2019) Stefan Vetter has almost single-handedly reinvented Sylvaner as we know it. Working only by hand from very old vines, his wines maximize the incredible character of this unsung varietal. The 2017 vintage is one of his best yet, with aromas and flavors of ripe apple, beeswax, and white flowers all traveling along with gusts of ocean breeze. This wine has serious structure and wonderful acidity that doesn't take anything away from it being just a ton of fun. Great right now and up to 2022.

Winemaker's Notes
"Grapes are hand harvested with a triage in the vines, destemmed, and fermented with indigenous yeast and zero sulfur. Elevage on the fine lees for 7 months in traditional large Alsatian foudre and bottled with zero addition of sulfur. Unfined and unfiltered."
