History of the wine:
Our Eibelstadter Mönchsleite Altenberg 1172 Silvaner I is inspired by the wine of the same name with which Walter Leininger was awarded the State Honor Prize for the best wine at the Franconian wine awards in 1969. Today, our top Silvaner still grows in this very same parcel.
Our goal was to reconnect with the remarkable achievements of Walter Leininger — and with the 2021 vintage, we succeeded: we received the modern-day counterpart to that historic award — the Ceratit Nodosus. Best-of-Gold!
At Best of Gold, the best wines from over 500 gold-awarded entries are blind tasted and selected in ten different categories.
For years, this Silvaner has ranked among the top in Franconia, consistently receiving outstanding ratings from wine critics and wine lovers alike.
