Leipold Silvaner Schilfsandstein Grosses Gewächs
Franken 
100% Silvaner
13.5% abv 
The young winemaker's masterpiece shines in its 10th edition with a highly refined aroma of yellow fruits, herbal spices, and the characteristic flinty note typical of the Schilfsandstein (reed sandstone). This wine beautifully combines elegance and density in perfect harmony. Grown on this very special type of reed sandstone soil, year after year, the most outstanding Silvaner grapes thrive here.
The vineyard, located on the outskirts of the village Obervolkach, benefits from cool winds that ensure a late harvest with stunningly beautiful grapes. The 25-year-old vines are planted on barren, skeletal-rich reed sandstone weathered soil with a south-southwest orientation. The wine is aged in both stainless steel and barrique, with 18 months of maturation on the lees.
 
Grapefruit pith, bright acidity but with a mouthfeel more associated with generous Burgundy.
