The Wines at a Glance

2022 Silvaner “Gutswein” Qualitätswein trocken

Tasted on 28 June 2025 by Werner Elflein

Lemon yellow. Signals the ageing in large wooden barrels on the nose. Faint aromas of dried herbs, yellow apple, sun-ripened lemon in the form of freshly squeezed juice and sweet jelly as well as cantaloupe melon. The palate continues with hints of lemon and orange. As complex as the fruit is, it never takes centre stage. The Silvaner, declared as an estate wine, impresses with its expressive presence on the palate, a fine, elegant acidity and an impressive structure characterised by warming, non-bittering phenols. Very good length.

Vinegar sting

Tasted on 8 May 2020 by Werner Elflein

Bright straw yellow with golden reflections. Slightly oxidative scent of ripe yellow stone fruit and yellow apple. Subtle nuances of caraway, but also higher esters and fruit vinegar. Mouth filling, somewhat broad, but by no means without charm. Shows individuality, but should polarize strongly because of it. Good length.

Sulfurous off-flavour

Tasted on 22 May 2020 by Werner Elflein

Golden yellow. Herbaceous, rudimentary fragrance that hardly shows any fruit. In addition, there is a distinct impairment by sulphur, which unfortunately is not limited to the nose, but also in the mouth counteracts the intrinsically good, creamy texture of the wine by rough taste components. With air discreet vanilla notes develop. Fine acidity. Very good length.

Symbols
🯅The rating of the wine is based on a single taster. The taster is named in the context of the rating. The tasting was either open or blind. In case of a blind tasting, it is explicitly labelled as such.
🯅🯅The rating of the wine is based on two tasters. The tasters are named in the context of the rating. The tasting was carried out according to the four-eyes principle, in which both tasters agree on a joint rating.
🯅🯅🯅The rating is based on a tasting by our jury and indicates the Mean value calculated by us from the individual ratings of the tasters. Our mean value is based on the median.
⚖The wine was evaluated in a blind tasting. We have strict rules for blind tastings. The tasters do not receive any information that would allow them to identify the wines. The tasters are only given access to further information that goes beyond the subject matter if it is absolutely necessary for understanding the wines.
🕓We only had limited time to taste the wine  - typically during an open tasting event, such as a wine fair. It was therefore not possible to observe the development of the wine in the glass over a longer period of time. The informative value of our rating may therefore be limited under certain circumstances.
⛬The wine was tasted as a barrel sample or before an official test number (Amtliche Prüfungsnummer or Staatliche Prüfnummer) was issued. We only accept samples of unfilled wines in exceptional cases, and then only if we can assume sufficient stability in the bottle for a period of at least three months.
▲During our tasting, the wine showed conspicuous sensory characteristics. This does not necessarily have to be a wine fault. We categorise the quality and quantity of the abnormality and include it in the rating. Wine faults such as cork taint or an atypical ageing generally lead to a complete rejection.
Tastings that refer to the same bottle of a wine are visually summarised by a dotted line.
