Slight, flinty reduction still hovers on the nose with enticing, promising smokiness. The palate is a subtle, creamy, tender rendition of Silvaner on Muschelkalk, or fossil limestone. The fine-boned nature of Silvaner, its inherent ability to reflect soil, is captured here and evident in the structured but tender mid-palate that reverberates with stony, buffered chalky echo. This is a quiet, subtle wine but one that gets under your skin with its paradigmatic harmony, essential slenderness and balance. A glorious lesson in subtlety.
