Happy Labor Day, witches! We're kicking off a new wine theme for September - German whites! This was what you selected on Instagram, if you aren't following us what are you doing!?
Our first German white is an obscure grape - Sylvaner. Sylvaner is a white German varietal, similar to Riesling and Gewurtztraminer. However, Sylvaner is less aromatic than these other German white grapes, and therefore allowing a vineyard site to sometimes show it’s terroir more clearly. We're bringing you Sylvaner from Scribe! Sylvaner was first planted on the Scribe Farm in the 1850’s. The Dresel family, original landholders of what is now the Scribe farm, had moved to California from their vineyard in Germany to plant the first German wine varietals in California soil. We talk about lesser known varietals and the resurgence of single varietal wines. Hope you can get your hands on a bottle of Sylvaner!
