Biodynamic. Dry. This is our second shipment of Weinbach’s Sylvaner, drawn from old vines in the Clos des Capucins. Sylvaner may have fallen down the Alsatian pecking order over the decades, but you could hardly tell that from tasting Weinbach’s example. Old, biodynamically tended vines and low yields are just two keys to the quality and style here. The fruit was gently pressed as whole clusters in pneumatic presses, then fermented with indigenous yeasts (an element of the terroir that enhances depth and complexity in the wines) in old oak vats.
