2023 Sulzfeld Maustal Silvaner Auslese edelsüß, Franconia/Franken, Germany

Fast herbaceous, distinctly root-vegetable nose with core fruit notes, a bit of citrus fruits, herbs, floral nuances, and a hint of chalk. Firmly structured, concentrated, very sweet fruit, lively acidity, and some grip, candied celery, and a bit of cauliflower on the palate, a little ethereal herbs, persistent, a touch of dark berries, floral nuances, a bit of vitamin C, very good finish with plenty of sweet juice and again ethereal spice. Has gained significantly with maturity.
