Kuentz-Bas 2010 Trois Chateaux Sylvaner
- Online Exclusive
The name Trois Chateaux (three castles) refers to the three ruined towers that lurk over the Kuentz-Bas village of Husseren. The wine, produced from biodynamic grapes, is deliciously fruity, with a crisp apple character. Concentrated and stylish at the same time.

Fresh and bright, this has bold aromas of stone fruit, tangerine, white flower and honeysuckle. A drying mineral note at the back adds backbone.

This all-Italian expression of Sylvaner shows beautifully delicate floral and exotic fruit aromas wrapped within a light, fresh bouquet. The wine’s smooth, silky, slightly oily texture reinforces its feminine feel.

Abbazia di Novacella 2010 Praepositus Sylvaner (Alto Adige)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Aromas of honey, passion fruit, peach and natural rubber appear on the nose. There’s a soapy, floral element as well but the wine ultimately ends on a dry, crisp note.

Rancho Sisquoc 2009 Flood Family Vineyards Sylvaner (Santa Barbara County)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
Crisp acidity and ultraripe fruit make this wine a very good sipper. It’s clean and sleek on the palate, with dryish pineapple, kiwi and kumquat flavors that vaguely resemble Chardonnay.

The Sylvaner’s essential spice and pepper quality is well brought out in this stylish wine. The pear and quince flavors come through strongly, finishing with acidity.

Domaine Ernest Burn 2010 Sylvaner

With some sweetness, this red-currant-flavored wine gets its ripe feel from a hint of honey. The wine is rich, its acidity lying easily with the warm, open fruit.
