Oeko-Weingut Zang, Silvaner, "Langgraben", organic wine, white, 2021
 

Every year the winemaker tries to capture the image of the vintage in all its facets and make it tangible in the wine. The vineyard itself should be allowed to tell its own individual story: a story about the very own character of the vineyard, about healthy soil, about varied weather, the microclimate of the location and especially about the years of experience of the vines on their location. They are organic wines like this Oeko-Weingut Zang “Lagenwein” Silvaner Langgraben, with tradition for a sustainable future.

Organic wine profile

• Color: light yellow with a fine yeast veil
• Nose: Its scent is also initially dominated by the yeast. Only after a little while do you feel a hint of smoke, because it matured in oak barrels, with a slight spiciness of green pepper.
       Air is good for it, because over time the variety emerges more and more and the wine becomes complex with notes of almonds and nuts, aromas of yellow fruits and floral accents
• Mouth: Mouth: really dry on the palate, it pulls gently over the tongue, appears piquantly salty at the edges and spreads its persistent presence throughout the entire mouth. Dense like flannel in effect, velvety in consistency with lots of melt.
  A groundbreaking Silvaner - unique in its own way!
• Drinking recommendation : Serve at 8-10°C.

Organic wine production, Oeko-Wein-Gut Zang "Lagen-Wein", Silvaner, Langgraben, whited

All grapes are harvested by hand and spontaneously fermented with the grapes' own yeasts and matued in wooden barrels. With the exception of some SO2, no preservatives or fining agents are used.

Since the single-vineyard wines have been bottled unfiltered since the 2021 vintage, this year we have only classified the wines as country wines in order not to come into conflict with the wine law, which requires filtering for single-vineyard wines. This "Lagen-Silvaner without location" grows on the long ditch, the border path between Nordheim and Sommerach. A fillet piece in the furthest original corner of the Nordheimer Vogelein, which here borders on the Sommeracher Katzenkopf; This corner contains some of the best areas on the wine island.
