Origin
The Himmelspfad Silvaner Grosses Gewächs 2023 from the Rudolf May winery comes from a top vineyard site in Franconia. The region is characterized by limestone soils and a continental climate, which produce Silvaners with precision, minerality, and a clear expression of their origin. Rudolf May is one of Germany's leading Silvaner producers and works in harmony with nature and uncompromisingly on quality.

Expansion
The grapes are hand-harvested and rigorously selected. After gentle processing, fermentation takes place with the aim of precisely highlighting origin, minerality, and structure. Aging on the fine lees lends additional depth, complexity, and texture, while preserving the freshness and clarity of the Silvaner.

Aroma and taste
The nose offers aromas of ripe apple, pear, quince, and yellow stone fruits, along with herbs, white blossoms, and a subtle smokiness. On the palate, it is powerful, concentrated, and elegant, with chalky minerality, precise acidity, and a smooth, creamy texture. The finish is long, saline, and complex.

Food recommendation
Ideal with fine fish, shellfish, veal and poultry. Also excellent with mushroom dishes, asparagus, truffles and sophisticated vegetable cuisine.
