  • Current 2020 Sylvaner in General
    100% Sylvaner VINTAGE Since 1971; current 2020 BACKGROUND INFORMATION Sylvaner in general: Originally from Germany (where it is known as Silvaner), it became famous in early 20th century when it was Germany’s most planted varietal, before the discovery of the early ripening and higher production attributes of Műller Thurgau. Wine from this grape has a naturally high acid level, but no real longevity. It’s still popular in Nahe, Franken and Rheinpfalz where Riesling struggles to ripen - Sylvaner ripens 2 weeks earlier than Riesling. Excellent late harvest style wines are made in these regions. Sylvaner is also grown in other European countries such as France (Alsace), Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Russia. Sylvaner at Overgaauw: David Snr planted the first Sylvaner at Overgaauw in the 1960s (currently 1 ha). It was bottled in 1971 when most of the local producers were bottling Steen (Chenin Blanc) and Riesling (Cruchen Blanc). The Overgaauw Sylvaner is the only Sylvaner produced in SA. It’s made in small quantities and has a loyal following due to its flavour spectrum and uniqueness. German tourists enjoy tasting ‘their’ varietal in SA and comment that you can “taste the sunshine in the wine”. Restaurants often list it as a unique varietal on their wine lists and are pleasantly surprised at its versatility as a food wine. VITICULTURE Vineyard location: Stellenbosch Kloof, 200m above sea level, south facing, 15km from False Bay Moderate climate: Winter ave temp: 13ºC (min 7ºC, max 17ºC) Summer ave temp: 21.5ºC (min 20.5ºC, max 30.5ºC) Soil: Deep Hutton and Clovelly (decomposed granite) Age of vines: 27 years Trellising: 4-wire hedge system with moveable wires Pruning: Cordon system with 2 bud spurs, ensuring low yield Harvest date: February 2020 Yield per hectare: 8 tons Sugar at harvesting: 23ºB VINICULTURE Length of fermentation: 21 days in stainless steel at average 14ºC Alcohol: 12.5% vol Total acid: 5.1 g/l pH: 3.56 RS: 2.3 g/l OUR WINEMAKER DAVID VAN VELDEN’S COMMENTS First produced in 1971, our Sylvaner is still unique in South Africa.

  • Silvaner Subtle, Shapely & Stylish
    Silvaner subtle, shapely & stylish A RENDEZVOUS WITH TRADITION 3 THE STYLE OF SILVANER WINES Silvaner is one of the most important white grape varieties in German viticul- tural history. From its debut in Germany in the second half of the 17th century through the mid-1960s, it was the most widely planted grape variety in Germany. At its peak, it was cultivated in ca. half of Germany’s total vineyard area. It replaced inferior grape varieties, including Elbling and Gutedel, until it was supplanted by the more prolific grape Müller-Thurgau. But Silvaner has made its comeback. The world’s largest acreage of Silvaner lies in Germany, with ca. 5,000 ha (12,500 acres), where it is the fifth most important grape today, equal to 5% of the country’s vineyard area. Of this 2,371 ha (ca. 5,859 acres) are planted in Rhein hessen and 1,406 ha (3,474 acres) in Franken, the world's largest Silvaner regions. The grape is particularly adept at reflecting its terroir: mineral tones clearly underscore fruity, spicy or herbal / vegetal aromas remi- niscent of honeydew melon, apricot, apple, orange or lemon peel; coriander; celery and new-mown hay or grass; and sometimes, toasty notes – as depicted in the glass to the right. Silvaner 4 A RENDEZVOUS WITH TRADITION Leading producers plant Silvaner in top sites that are protected from wind and cold, yet have good circulation and sufficient moisture. If left unchecked, it is a prolific bearer of grapes suitable for uncomplicated everyday wines. With quality-oriented vineyard maintenance, including stringent pruning, Silvaner grapes can produce very good and excellent Prädikat wines.

  • Furmint, Madeira, Austrian Riesling and Amontillado Sherry Impress at This Year’S International Wine Challenge Awards
    Weird & Wonderful: Furmint, Madeira, Austrian Riesling and Amontillado Sherry impress at this year’s International Wine Challenge Awards The International Wine Challenge (IWC) Awards 2019, announced in London last night (July 9), celebrated some of the less well-known styles of wine. Winemakers and experts from some of the most famous wineries and regions across the planet were on hand to fete the success of Furmint, Madeira and sherry, amongst others. Of the five overall wine winners (sweet, fortified, sparkling, red and white), three of them are rare and quirky wines: Tenuta Di Capezzana Vinsanto Riserva 2011 which won the Alois Kracher Trophy for Champion Sweet Wine 2019 is an exceptional dessert wine made using traditional methods where the grapes are carefully selected and dried on mats for several months before being fermented and then aged for five years in wooden casks giving a rich, complex and intense wine with notes of candied orange peel and dried apricots. The winner of the Manuel Lozano Trophy for Champion Fortified Wine 2019 was Justino's Madeira Terrantez 1978 produced from grapes grown on volcanic soils on tiny terraces called ‘poios’. The Madeira impressed judges with a complex nose with walnut and hazelnut aromas and dried fruit on the palate and a beautifully long and concentrated finish. The winner of the IWC Champion White Wine 2019 was a ‘lean, delicate and precise’ Austrian Riesling from Weingut Birgit Eichinger. The winning wine, ‘Riesling Ried Zöbinger Gaisberg Erste Lage Kamptal 2017,’ was a powerful wine with great tension and balance with zesty lemon, honeyed apples, pear skin and white pepper and was dubbed by the judges as being ‘full of subtle pleasure.’ The winner of the ‘IWC Champion of Champions 2019’, awarded to the most outstanding wine of its style from the line-up of Champions, was not a Grand Cru or a vintage sparkling, but one of the world’s rarest Sherries, Tio Pepe Cuatro Palmas Amontillado by González Byass, an extremely rare 40-year-old Sherry drawn in tiny quantities from six casks known as ‘Museo Solera’.

  • GRUNER VELTLINER Just Call It Gru Vee, Baby by EVAN DAWSON
    LIQUID ASSETS GRUNER VELTLINER Just call it Gru Vee, baby BY EVAN DAWSON ediblefi ngerlakes.com 47 HILE WE’VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR the next great Finger Lakes red wine, the next Wgreat white has been hiding out under our noses. Figuratively, of course, because if we were speaking literally, you couldn’t possibly have missed it. Gruner Veltliner is one aromatic missile of a variety. So why is there so much growing buzz about a variety that enjoys roughly 15 acres in the region? “There’s a lot to be excited about,” says Sayre Fulkerson, owner of Fulkerson Winery on Seneca Lake. “It doesn’t have a whole lot of overlap with Riesling, and it’s another high-quality white variety.” The spiritual home of Gruner Veltliner, known colloquially as “Gruner” or “Gru Vee”, is Austria, where the latest count had more than 42,000 acres planted. Fulkerson sees a parallel be- tween Austria’s Danube River and the Finger Lakes. “Without these bodies of the water, I’m not sure Gruner would be able to ripen,” he says. “But the influence of the Danube and the Finger Lakes gives the variety just enough to do some special things.” In the Finger Lakes, Gruner is young, but winemakers find the results promising. Dr. Konstantin Frank Vinifera Wine Cel- lars boasts the most Gruner; Fulkerson has barely an acre, but he envisions more of the variety showing up in vineyards around Canandaigua, Keuka, Seneca, and Cayuga lakes. Gruner almost suffered an early Finger Lakes extinction. “There is a problem with over cropping of Gruner,” Fulker- son explains.
