92pts James Suckling
The nose of fresh pineapple, durian and Thai basil is as attractive as the generous and ripe palate, where the succulence is nicely counterpointed by the complex herbal character that echoes through the long, creamy finish. Kalb means veal in German and it fits! From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
Winemaker Notes
This Silvaner is a true all-round talent. It is subtly fruity and finely aromatic. Its clear, elegant bouquet with aromas of hay, apple and melon is unobtrusive and slightly acidic. The terroir-emphasized note is typical of Hans Wirsching's Silvaner. The minerality of the Iphöfer Keuperboden can be tasted and gives this wine an unmistakable character. All of these properties make the 2020 Silvaner from Iphöfer Kalb a universal food companion. It goes particularly well with white asparagus, light summer cuisine, char with a delicate light sauce or sushi.
