Steiner Silvaner, Solera

GERMANY – Rheinhessen
Locality:
GERMANY – Rheinhessen
Appellation:
Landwein Rhein
Grape Variety:
Silvaner
WineMaker:
Kai Schätzel
Vineyard:
From a selection of old vines in the Oelberg, Hipping, and Pettenthal vineyards on the “Roter Hang”, growing on red slate. Part of the blend comes from own-rooted vines thriving on steep slopes.
Viticulture:
Organic (certified Ecofeuille) and biodynamic methods.
WineMaking:
Hand-picked and carefully hand-selected grapes are foot-crushed and macerated for 36 hours before pressing and being transferred into a 1,200-liter barrel without sedimentation. Fermentation begins with ambient yeasts, followed by malolactic fermentation and a spontaneous flor yeast fermentation. This is a solera-style wine, a blend of multiple vintages. The proportions vary by release and are indicated at the bottom of the label.
Aging:
Aged in barrel for 12 to 48 months, depending on the individual vintage components. The final wine is a blend of these vintages, aged together in a traditional solera system.
Bottling:
Neither fined nor filtered. Bottled in a lightweight bottle with recyclable cork, a sustainable label, and no capsule. No SO2 added.
