2022 Weinbach - Sylvaner (750ml)
From Weinbach’s esteemed Clos des Capucins monopole, the 2022 Sylvaner reveals the poised elegance that this site consistently delivers. Grown on 60-year-old vines, the grapes flourish in a terroir of sand-silt soil interlaced with granite pebbles, where the fruit ripens with remarkable concentration and aromatic lift. This is a pure expression of Sylvaner, crafted with sustainable precision to preserve its natural energy and regional character.
