With cheese
Graukäse
Our pick Slow Food describes a lean cheese with a bitter note that grows with ripeness, classically dressed with oil, wine vinegar and onion. Sylvaner's high acidity can stand next to the vinegar, and its fruit and mineral savour soften the bitterness.
Toblacher Stangenkäse
Our pick A Valle Isarco Sylvaner is medium-bodied, with high acidity and a mineral edge. Its freshness clears the palate between slices of the mild-sour, 45 percent fat bar cheese without covering its gentle flavour.
History
The Alte Reben Sylvaner is drawn from Pacherhof's oldest plots, vines over 40 years old planted on mica slate and paragneiss. Eight months in oak builds the cuvee's smoky, structured profile.
