Suckling over Himmelspfad Silvaner Grand Cru 2022
The complex nose of mirabelle, summer meadows and lilies makes this Silvaner GG stand head and shoulders above the great majority of wines from this grape in Franconia. Excellent concentration, the generous yellow fruits beautifully intertwined with the fine tannins and gentle acidity. Long, intensely chalky finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Himmelspfad Silvaner Grand Cru 2022

The 2022 Himmelspfad Silvaner Großes Gewächs from the Rudolf May winery is the highest expression of a Silvaner from the renowned Franconian wine region. This Großes Gewächs comes from the exclusive vineyards on the Himmelspfad site, known for their unique soil characteristics and outstanding microclimate.
The grapes for this exceptional Grand Cru are harvested by hand with the utmost care, using only the best and ripest grapes for wine production. The harvest takes place at a time that ensures optimal ripeness of the grapes, preserving their natural freshness, delicate aromas, and characteristic minerality.
In the winery's cellar, the Silvaner is vinified with the utmost precision and expertise. After a gentle pressing, fermentation takes place under controlled conditions to preserve the wine's delicate aromas and lively acidity. Careful aging on the fine lees lends the wine additional complexity, texture, and finesse.
The Himmelspfad Silvaner Großes Gewächs 2022 presents itself in the glass with a brilliant golden hue with green reflections. On the nose, it unfolds an impressive bouquet of ripe yellow fruits, such as pears and peaches, accompanied by delicate floral notes and a subtle mineral presence. On the palate, it impresses with its impressive structure, remarkable depth, and balanced acidity, leading into a long and elegant finish.
This Grand Cru from the Himmelspfad is a truly exquisite example of the region's highest quality and unique terroir. It is a wine for special occasions and will delight wine lovers with its complexity and elegance. It pairs perfectly with fine dishes such as fish dishes, poultry, and aged cheeses.
