"Pear seed piquancy on the nose transforms in the mouth into a glowing, positive bitterness. The feel is firm for Silvaner but with a hint of creaminess. Caper-like salinity and herbal pungency serve for invigoration and saliva inducement, while ashen and alkaline notes add to the fascinating diversity of a long finish whose sheer juiciness of pear and fresh lime preserves it from austerity." - Vinous
“Schätzel’s 2015 Nierstein Silvaner Trocken is clear and f loral, but most of all pretty untamed at this early stage. This is an intense, fresh and characterful wine with grip and structure, but remains a bit blunt. The acidity, however, is vital and refreshing. This densely-woven Silvaner, with its concentration and ripeness, will have good aging potential.” - Wine Advocate
