Great Growths

2009 Franken Silvaner

The Weingut Juliusspital Wurzburg Great Growths Silvaner from the 2009 vintage is a remarkable expression of Franken's terroir. This white wine displays a medium body that beautifully balances richness and finesse, making it a joy to sip. The acidity is bright and lively, enhancing the wine's refreshing character while providing an invigorating quality that invites another taste. With prominent fruit intensity, it showcases delightful notes of green apple, pear, and subtle citrus, wrapped in a delicate mineral undertone that speaks to its origin. The dryness of this Silvaner is well-defined, lending a clean and crisp finish that lingers elegantly on the palate. This wine is a true testament to the artistry of its craft, setting a high benchmark for the Silvaner varietal in the region.

Riesling is the most famous varietal in Germany, and is made in a range of styles, from dry and steely to sweet and peachy. The wines are classified according to the region as well as how much sugar is in each wine. Aside from the aromatic Riesling, you will also find subtle, refreshing whites made from local grapes like the floral Müller-Thurgau and Silvaner. Germany also produces some increasingly excellent red wine, mostly crisp and brightly fruity Pinot Noir (locally known as Spätburgunder).
