Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium acidity, dry
Silvaner is Rheinhessen's quiet workhorse and an older presence in Germany than any of the twentieth-century crossings. It is not an aromatic variety: where Scheurebe shouts and Bacchus perfumes, Silvaner gives a restrained, earthy character — pear and green apple with a herbal, faintly vegetal edge and a gently textured middle. Its virtue is precisely that neutrality, which makes it one of the better German whites at the table and a good carrier of site character. Acidity is moderate rather than high, so this is a wine of a decade rather than several, and it is at its best in the first few years while the fruit is intact. Dexheim sits in the Rheinhessen heartland near the Rhine terraces.
