white grape

Sylvaner

Cool, north-facing and valley vineyards of Alsace and Germany.

Known as: Sylvaner, Grüner Sylvaner

Sylvaner is the quiet Alsatian stalwart, once the most planted white of the region and today a modest counterweight to the superstar siblings Gewürztraminer and Riesling.

It is honest and easy: green apple, blossom and almond with gentle texture, at its best on limestone soils.

For the buyer, Sylvaner is unfussy Alsace value — a soft, food-friendly white that refreshes without demanding attention.
