## About this wine

Produced in Rheinhessen, Germany's largest Silvaner-growing region, Von Schoenaich Silvaner Trocken represents an accessible and classic expression of this historic variety. Silvaner has been cultivated in German vineyards for over 350 years. This dry Qualitätswein highlights the regional tradition of clean, food-friendly daily white wines crafted for early enjoyment.

## Interesting facts

- Rheinhessen is recognized as the largest Silvaner growing region in the world.
- Silvaner is a historic grape resulting from a natural cross between Traminer and Austria's ancient Österreichisch Weiß.
- Dry Silvaner is famously considered the ultimate classic pairing for seasonal German white asparagus (Spargel).

## Food pairing

Silvaner's moderate acidity, subtle herbal undertones, and crisp profile allow it to complement delicate proteins and subtle cream or herb sauces without masking their flavors. Its refreshing finish cuts through mild richness while harmonizing with green vegetables like asparagus.

## Wine making process

Harvested at optimal maturity under German Qualitätswein standards, the grapes undergo gentle pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Stainless steel maturation preserves the delicate varietal fruit purity and vibrant acidity without oak influence, leading to an early bottling under screw cap.
