From our friends at Golden Cluster:

2022 Weingut Saalwachter Silvaner St Laurentius, Rheinhessen, Germany Bastide Blanche and Dhroner HofbergThe old vines here refer to vines up to about 50 years old, mostly sourced from limestone parcels in and around Ingelheim in the north central Rheinhessen. At only 11. 5% this is the lightest but also the most cutting Silvaner alte Reben Ive had from Saalwchter. Carsten often calls this bottling his Saalwchter water, meaning the wine is just so essential and refreshing that you should drink it like water but there is also sternness here. Raw feeling,
