Weingut Bastian Beny Sylvaner Bio 2023 white

Weingut Bastian Beny’s 2023 Bio Sylvaner is a compelling example of how Rheinhessen’s historic signature grape is being rediscovered with real finesse. From nearly 50-year-old vines and minimal intervention in the cellar, this is a characterful white that combines purity, depth, and a distinctly regional identity.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows the kind of clarity and quiet intensity that makes Sylvaner so appealing when handled well. The bouquet is marked by floral notes and fresh woodruff, layered with delicate citrus fruit and a subtle herbal edge. On the palate, it is precise and quietly expressive, with a gentle, textured mouthfeel and a balanced, dry profile. The old vines lend noticeable depth, while the careful élevage in used oak adds shape rather than overt wood influence. This is a wine that should age gracefully over the next few years, gaining complexity and a little extra roundness.

Production
The grapes come from nearly 50-year-old Sylvaner vines planted on heavier loess-loam soils in Wintersheim, in the southern part of Rheinhessen. After selective hand-harvesting, the fruit was pressed very gently over 12 hours, then the must was transferred directly into used wooden casks without sedimentation or clarification. It matured there for almost two years, with only a minimal addition of sulphur just before bottling.

Food & Serving
This Sylvaner pairs beautifully with fresh seasonal dishes, asparagus, light poultry, herb-forward vegetable plates, and delicate freshwater fish. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C; decanting is generally not necessary, though a short period in the glass can help it open up.

Producer
Weingut Frank Beny, led by Bastian Beny in Wintersheim, is part of the new generation helping to restore Sylvaner’s reputation in Rheinhessen. The estate’s focus on old vines, organic farming, and restrained cellar work highlights both tradition and precision, making it one of the region’s more exciting small producers.
