  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The German Wine Market: a Comprehensive Strategic and Economic Analysis
    Article The German Wine Market: A Comprehensive Strategic and Economic Analysis Marc Dressler Management and Entrepreneurship, University of Ludwigshafen, Ernst-Boehe-Str. 4, D-67059 Ludwigshafen, Germany; [email protected] Received: 25 July 2018; Accepted: 15 November 2018; Published: 21 November 2018 Abstract: Even though it is famous for beer, Germany offers one of the most attractive wine markets, exemplified by being the fourth biggest wine consumption market and a world champion in sparkling wine consumption as well as in wine imports. Still, fragmentation, intensive competition, lack of growth, and a changing environment speak to a challenging market for suppliers. In the absence of a comprehensive investigation on the market, this article aspires to deliver an economic and strategic market analysis. The statistical data is therefore complemented by the primary market research, notably online surveys on strategy and innovation, a proprietary database on wineries’ reputation, and an international expert survey on export success factors. The following market study aims to provide a concise overview covering the relevant market data, and to disclose strategic information about the German wine industry beyond pure market statistics. The German wine market, in the stable wine volume sold, shows dynamism underneath “the tip of the iceberg”, with industry specific environmental forces. Indeed, as the wine industry deals with agricultural products of a high emotional utility, players need to address the world of commodities and of differentiation. Structural changes are visible in the drive-out of players. Moreover, diverse and even restricting environmental factors motivate supplier´s innovation. The key is the changing consumer.

  • Alternative Oregon
    SUNDAY SCHOOL’S WINE BUYING GUIDE: ALTERNATIVE OREGON ______________________________________________________________________________ There are 80+ grape varieties grown in Oregon. One of those is Pinot Noir—and that accounts for 57% of production. So, what else is out there? Some are familiar grapes like Chardonnay and Gamay (but in smaller quantities than you’d think), while others are little-known varieties such as Trousseau or Saperavi. Cool, eh? Our guide focuses on the more obscure, but we realize that if you’ve never heard of it, you’re not going to know what it tastes like, let alone if you’ll like. So, we’ve made note of some starting point grapes so you can continue your adventure from there. Remember, each of these grape varieties is distinct in and of itself— we’re only giving you a rough place to start (we can’t guarantee if you love Pinot you’ll also going to have a weakness for Trousseau, though you might!).
