'Elis' is short for Elisabeth, the previous owner of this parcel of 78-year-old Sylvaner, grown on gravelly, sandy soils; 50% of which was hand-harvested early and allowed to ferment on the skins for one week. Fermentation and aging in a used barrel, no fining, no filtration, no problem (also no sulphur added). A very, very tiny amount was made, and we've ended up with just a case. If you love Sylvaner (and you should), this is mandatory drinking. White tea, pear, quince skin on the nose, elegant and concentrated notes of apricot, quince, and white strawberry on the powerful, lengthy finish. An incredibly sophisticated wine from such young winemakers, we eagerly look forward to future vintages!
