2023 Hans Wirsching Iphöfer Kalb Silvaner Trocken

The Hans Wirsching winery 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 managed 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 here.
Some wines are still bottled here in the typical Franconian “Bochsbeutel” bottle, whose name is derived from the word “book”, because it fitted like a bottle into the bag in which monks and pilgrims carried their prayer books. It has been a trademark of special Franconian wines since the beginning of the 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 “Kalb” vineyard, located east of Iphofen, about 100 km northwest of Nuremberg on a “Keuper” soil; (sediment from marshy primeval forests). The wine ferments and ages only in stainless steel to preserve freshness.

The Hans Wirsching Iphöfer Kalb Silvaner Trocken VDP Erste Lage is a delicious dry, fruity Sylvaner. With aromas of hay, apple and melon in the nose. In the mouth the wine is slim, elegant, mineral, fresh with juicy acids and a long balanced finish.
