LeipoldSilvaner Muschelkalk Kabinett Trocken 2022 (750ml)

This is an estate we were introduced to by Klaus Peter Keller. Peter Leipold, the young son who is taking over the winery, simply has “the touch,” I don’t know how else to say it. Nearly every wine I’ve tasted from the estate is incredibly linear, light, incisive and penetrating yet also electric. Two words keep coming to mind: saturation and evaporation. The wines have a super-fine, glycerine density to them, yet then they are gone, weightless… only the energy reverberating. These wines are Silvaner as mineral scalpel; drink carefully.

From 20 year old vines on a South/Southwest facing site that is limestone based. Fermented in stainless and large oak barrel. This is Limestone-crunch, Chablisienne calling card of the estate.
