DB Schmitt, Sylvaner Zold 2021 Chardonnay while thyme and verbena bringPlace: Rheinhessen, Germany Grape: Sylvaner Vibe: Serious Skins How good is Sylvaner? Everyone gushes over Riesling, but this is also a grape that can do it all. Like Riesling, but with more focus on herbs and spice. Especially here, where subtle skin contact and plenty of time in bottle has pushed the primary fruit back to reveal something really interesting. White pepper, bay, and botanicals, then comes that drying citrus fruit and apple skin grip.
