With its Grosses Gewächs “Stein-
Harfe’’, the Bürgerspital once again
presents one of Germany’s best Silvaners
– an icon and symbol of this grape variety
– to which one of our tasters attested a
“calm, mineral spirituality which allows the
stone to shine through.” The team surrounding
estate director Robert Haller yet again presented
an exquisite range of wines where the Rieslings
step further into the limelight along the Silvaners:
the “Hagemann” Riesling from the
Würzburger Stein site shows concentration and
site expression in a very smooth fashion. This is
Franken presented in the very best light!
95 2019 Würzburg Stein-Harfe Silvaner GG
Beeswax, herbs and apricot kernels on the nose, also darker
aromas of rosehip, tea and miso. Good density and bundling
on the palate, relaxed and silky, yet powerful and precise. A
calm, mineral spirituality that lets the stone shine through.

Still closed on the nose, opens with aromas of apricot, amalfi
lemons, leafy greens and crushed rock, terpenes and a tad of

power that is softly coated and pervaded by minerality, deep
and long. 13 Vol.-%. screwcap, €€€
