2023 Am Stein Würzberg Silvaner Trocken Franken

Located in Würzburg, in the heart of Germany’s Franken wine region along the Main River, Weingut am Stein is a leading estate known for its expressive, terroir-driven wines and commitment to biodynamics. Owned by Ludwig Knoll, the VDP-member estate farms steep, sun-drenched vineyards rooted in the region’s distinctive Muschelkalk, or shell limestone, soils. Its signature grape is Silvaner, Franken’s most emblematic variety and one of Germany’s great underappreciated white grapes: typically less overtly aromatic than Riesling, Silvaner excels at conveying the character of its vineyard, producing dry, textured wines with fresh acidity, subtle herbal and orchard-fruit notes, and a distinctive stony minerality.
