Burgerspital Wurzburger Silvaner 2020

A founding member of the VDP, Bürgerspital in Würzburg is a Franken estate with more than 700 years of vinicultural tradition under its belt. Robert Haller is at the helm, leading a winery that cultivates Silvaner and Riesling in shell limestone terroir. Always striving for an expression of place, Haller says minerality, complexity, and finesse are more valuable to Bürgerspital than fruitiness, sweetness or opulence. The wines follow their own path, and the result is fine accompaniments to food – one of the cornerstones that guides work in the vineyard and the winery. Bürgerspital has been a VDP member since 1955 and produces 850,000 bottles of wine annually.

Delicate with a scent of mint and Mirabelle, and spicy, savory flavors, this wine is made from carefully selected fruit. To preserve light fruit, it’s fermented and aged in large oak casks and stainless steel tanks. This wine is a perfect match with starters or light dishes with river fish and white meats.
