2018 Hans Wirsching Iphöfer Kammer Silvaner Trocken Grosses Gewächs

Winery Hans Wirsching is one of the most traditional and renowned wineries in Franconia. The family has been growing wine for centuries; since 1630! Today the company is led by Andrea Wirsching and Dr. Heinrich Wirsching.
On 90 hectares in and around Iphofen, mainly dry white wines from Silvaner, Riesling and Scheurebe are produced.
A number of wines are still bottled here in the typical Franconian “Bochsbeutel” bottle, whose name is taken from the word "book", because it fit like a bottle in the bag in which the monks and pilgrims carried their prayer book. It has been a trademark of special wines from Franconia since the early 18th century.

Hans Wirsching is the reference of Franken and the national and international wine press is also full of praise for their wines. Hans Wirsching works with great respect for nature and the environment and in a sustainable way.

The “Kammer” vineyard, located northeast of Iphofen, about 100 km northwest of Nuremberg on a “Keuper” soil; (sediment of swamp-rich old-growth forests). The wine only ferments and ages on stainless steel to preserve the freshness.

The Hans Wirsching Iphöfer Kammer Silvaner Trocken Grosses Gewächs comes from a certain plot in the Iphöfer Kronsberg and was previously sold as Kronsberg GG The Iphöfer Kammer "VDP. Grosse Lage" is a stylized, clear, bright, intense and yeast-scented Sylvaner with its wtypical fruit flavors like as pears. In the mouth this is a juicy, fine and remarkably salty, not too heavy Sylvaner. Spicy, peppery, mineral, powerful yet juicy acids with a long balanced finish.
