Konni & Evi Silvaner Tethys 2023 white

Konni & Evi Silvaner Tethys 2023 is a refined, terroir-driven white from the cool northern vineyards of Saale‑Unstrut in Germany. Crafted from Silvaner, one of the region’s signature grapes, it balances crisp freshness with quiet depth and nuance. This cuvée showcases the precision and purity that have made Konni & Evi a name to watch among lovers of artisan German wines.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Silvaner Tethys 2023 typically shows a pale straw to light lemon hue with a subtle greenish shimmer, reflecting its youthful vitality. The nose tends to be clean and inviting, with notes of green apple, pear, and white peach layered over fresh herbal tones, hints of meadow flowers, and a touch of wet stone minerality that speaks to its cooler-climate origins. On the palate, you can expect a linear, elegant profile: bright acidity, medium body, and a finely etched mineral backbone. Typical Silvaner characters—crisp orchard fruits, citrus zest, and gentle herbal nuances—are joined by a saline edge and a lingering, dry finish. It is crafted to be enjoyed in its youth for maximum freshness and tension, but a year or two of cellaring can allow the texture to broaden and the mineral notes to knit more seamlessly into the fruit.

Production
Konni & Evi work in the Saale‑Unstrut region, where cool temperatures, limestone- and sandstone‑influenced soils, and steep, often terraced vineyards favor precise, mineral-driven whites. Grapes for Silvaner Tethys are typically harvested by hand to ensure optimal selection and gentle handling. In the cellar, the philosophy leans toward minimal intervention: careful pressing, spontaneous or low‑input fermentations, and élevage in inert vessels or neutral containers that preserve the grape’s clarity and the site’s distinctive minerality, with limited additions to maintain purity and balance.

Food & Serving
Silvaner Tethys 2023 is a versatile food partner, especially with delicate, mineral-driven dishes. It pairs beautifully with freshwater fish, simple grilled or pan‑fried white fish, sushi, light poultry, spring vegetables, asparagus, herbed salads, goat cheese, and mild soft cheeses. Serve chilled but not icy, ideally around 8–10°C (46–50°F), to allow the aromas and texture to open. A brief splash in a carafe or a few minutes in the glass is usually sufficient; extended decanting is not necessary and may mute its most delicate, high‑toned notes.

Producer
Konni & Evi are a small, quality‑focused producer in Saale‑Unstrut, Germany’s northernmost traditional winegrowing region and one of its most historic.

Their commitment to careful vineyard work and restrained, transparent winemaking has made them a respected name among enthusiasts seeking authentic, site‑driven German wines that stand apart from the mainstream.
