Weingut Leipold, located in the heart of Franken, is gaining attention for its expressive and mineral-driven wines. Run by Peter Leipold, who brings experience from working at top wineries like Klaus Peter Keller and Domaine Liger-Belair, the estate is now recognized for its exceptional, modern Silvaner from the Franken region.
- WINEMAKER: Peter Leipold.
- FARMING: Organic practices, emphasizing sustainable vineyard management.
- VARIETY: 100% Silvaner.
- TERROIR: The "Muschelkalk" refers to the limestone soils (shell limestone), which lend the wine its characteristic minerality and bright acidity.
- VINIFICATION: Fermented in stainless steel, with minimal intervention to highlight the purity and freshness of the fruit.
- AGING: Aged briefly on lees to enhance texture, without oak influence.
- TASTING NOTES: Crisp and zesty, with herbaceous notes, green apple, and a fine minerality. It has an electric acidity and a delicate weight, making it an excellent match for white meats and root vegetables.
