Silvaner Benediktusberg Retzbach QW Franken 0.75L

A Silvaner that shows what Franconia is capable of: clear, precise, and with an unmistakable stamp of origin. The Benediktusberg in Retzbach is one of the most striking sites in the Main valley — pure lower shell limestone on a rocky outcrop, a soil that shapes white wines with tension and mineral depth.

Weingut Rudolf May works according to organic principles and is one of the reliable addresses in Franconia when it comes to site-typical Silvaner. The classification as VDP.ERSTES GEWÄCHS stands for the highest standards in harvesting and vinification — vinified dry, focused on expression of origin rather than opulence.

In the glass, the wine shows the cool elegance typical of shell limestone: quince, white peach, and a salty-mineral undertone that defines the long finish. The acidity is taut but integrated — not a charmer, but a wine with backbone and aging potential.

Best served at 10–12 °C. Pairs with zander with beurre blanc, asparagus with hollandaise sauce, or mild goat cheese.
