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.
