Score: 92Vintage 2018Vinous MediaThe 2018 Sylvaner Alte Reben is bursting with tropical fruits, sweet exotic florals and spice. It’s silky smooth yet bristling with salty minerals and nervous acidity that buzzes upon the senses with notes of ripe yellow apple, pear and hints of green citrus developing toward the close. There’s so much tension here, along with an intricate balance of fruit and structure.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 92Vintage 2016Wine and SpiritsFourth-generation winemaker Andreas Huber cultivates eight white grape varieties on 20 acres of west-facing slopes above Alto Adige’s Isarco River. He makes two sylvaners, this one from 40-year-old vines that yield a floral-scented wine with lively flavors of pineapple, lime and quince. Its cool, zippy flavors and river-stone minerality make the wine a perfect match for salumi and salty cheese.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
