Sylvaner is a simple grape that when treated with respect can give a wonderfully literal expression of a terroir. The Schmitts biodynamic farming and gentle hand in the cellar does just that and this example, fermented on skins for a month and aged in old casks, is amongst the most impressive takes on the variety we have tried.
Promising youngsters Bianka and Daniel Schmitt are forcing us to rethink what we know about the Rheinhessen, farming with an attention to detail and respect for nature in an area known for quite the opposite. The results speak for themselves, with each and every release redefining what is possible from this undoubtedly great terroir.
