2024 Silvaner Maustal GG, Luckert Zehnthof

"The Sulzfelder 2024 Silvaner Maustal GG displays a deep, dark and mineral, lemon-scented bouquet of wet and dirty chalk intertwined with lemon rind notes. On the palate, this is a generous, round, lush and savory as well as elegant, saline and salivating Sylvaner in a more classical style compared to the unrivaled Creutz ***. The Maustal GG is still young and shy, far from being developed and also far from indicating its true potential. I have tasted the wine two times in nearly two months with the same results. It is a complex and long-lasting Silvaner with a fine, persistent structure and great length. The wine shows remarkable finesse and elegance and can claim to be one of the best Silvaners of the vintage in Franconia. 13.5% stated alcohol. Screw cap. Tasted in August and October 2025."
