**Franken** ... — a region in northern Bavaria, in southern Germany, set along the Main river around Würzburg, with a strong identity of its own. **Wines & grapes** — Dry whites are the focus, and Silvaner is the signature grape, alongside Müller-Thurgau and Riesling. Reds are a minor presence. **Character** — A cooler, more continental climate and varied soils give wines that are typically dry, earthy and firmly structured rather than fruity or floral, with Silvaner showing a distinctive savoury, minerally profile. **Good to know** — Many Franken wines are bottled in the traditional flask-shaped Bocksbeutel, a rounded flattened bottle that makes them instantly recognisable on the shelf.
