Unfortunately, the Silvaner grape’s natural proclivity to large yields can lead to some wines that are dilute and boring, and this has unfortunately given both grape and wine a so-so reputation. And believe me, even at that ripe old age, they are utterly beautiful.
Just like the best Riesling wines, when kept in a good cellar, the best Silvaner wines have no problem aging forty years or more. The Silvaner, or Sylvaner, wine grape gives some of the world’s most refined, precise, lively white wines blessed with a truly amazing aging potential.
