Grape Varietal & Region: This wine is made from the Sylvaner grape variety from the Steinterrassen Muschelkalk vineyard. The vineyard is located in the Franconia region of Germany, known for producing exceptional Sylvaner wines.

Taste Profile: This wine is a true reflection of its terroir, offering a textured and powerful expression of Sylvaner. The Muschelkalk soils, characterized by limestone and fossilized shells, impart a distinct mineral character to the wine. On the nose, delicate floral aromas mingle with ripe stone fruits and a touch of citrus zest. On the palate, vibrant acidity refreshes the senses, while flavors of green apples, pears, and white peach create a harmonious and engaging taste profile. The wine exhibits both depth and finesse, with a long, mineral-driven finish.

Winemaking Process: Stefan Vetter follows organic and biodynamic winemaking practices. The grapes are carefully hand-harvested to ensure optimal ripeness and quality. The grapes are whole-cluster pressed without any maceration or crushing and put directly into old/neutral barrels. The wine is topped up while in barrel, but not sulfured. The wines are normally racked only once and then bottled unfined and unfiltered with lower SO2
