Short maceration, temperature-controlled fermentation and storage in stainless steel tanks. The result is a refreshing aromatic and juicy wine. The Silvaner estate wine is a versatile accompaniment to meals, especially with light dishes, asparagus, freshwater fish, poultry and cream cheese with herbs. A founding member of the VDP, Bürgerspital in Würzburg is a Franken estate with more than 700 years of vinicultural tradition under its belt. Robert Haller is at the helm, leading a winery that cultivates Silvaner and Riesling on shell-limestone terroir. Always striving for an expression of place, Haller says minerality, complexity, and finesse are more valuable to Bürgerspital than fruitiness, sweetness, or opulence. The wines follow their own path, and the result is fine accompaniments to food – one of the cornerstones that guides work in the vineyard and the winery. Bürgerspital has been a VDP member since 1955 and produces 850,000 bottles of wine annually.
