HuffSylvaner “Quicksilvaner” (750ml)

Huff is in Nierstein on the Roter Hang in the northeast corner of the Rheinhessen – this area is where the most famous Rheinhessen wines originated from before Keller took the world by storm 20 years ago. She grows her Silvaner on the plateau back behind Nierstein in an area called Schwabsburg. The soils vary up here but her Silvaner parcel is planted on clay. Fermented and raised in stainless steel. The family owns the estate, Christine, the daughter, is in her early-to-mid-30s and is the winemaker, along with her Kiwi husband. Her dad still takes care of all the vineyards but he’s happy to leave the winemaking to someone else. Christine trained with Keller in 2004/2005 and took over as winemaker at Huff in 2010. They use no pesticides, herbicides, mineral fertilizers or “animal or chemical fining agents.
