PRODUCER

Hans Wirsching

Hans Wirsching has been owned and operated by the Wirsching family since the early 17th century. With nearly 200 acres in Franconia, the estate is one of the largest and best known in the area. The estate grows primarily Silvaner, Riesling and Muller-Thurgau, with numerous other grapes grown in smaller amounts. Hans Wirsching wines win ratings in the mid- to high-90s, and Decanter magazine has called it a “visionary estate that’s one of Franconia’s leading Silvaner producers.”

TYPE

White Wine, Riesling, Auslese

This white variety originated in Germany. It’s known for its strong flowery aromas and high acidity. Please note Rieslings can have dramatic differences as the grape can be used to make dry, semi-sweet, sweet and sparkling wines.
