2016 Frickenhausen Mönchshof Silvaner Grosses Gewächs trocken, Franconia/Franken, Germany

Delicate vegetal, herbaceous and floral notes on the nose, partly candied yellow fruit aromas, touch of ice sweets, delicate nutty traces, light mineral notes. Straightforward, fairly juicy, slightly off-dry fruit on the palate, fairly lively acidity, touch of carbon dioxide, fairly persistent, quite full-bodied with noticeable warm alcohol, delicate floral notes, hint of red berries, chalky and salty traces in the background, sweetish and creamy, touch of ice sweets again on a good to very good finish.
