Schilfsandstein means reed sandstone, and it's the mineral counterpoint to Peter Leipold's limestone Gassberg. Where the Gassberg cuts, this Grand Cru Silvaner broadens and deepens, the sandstone giving it a rounder, more mouth-filling frame while staying bone-dry. It's the sandstone half of a deliberate two-part lesson in how soil reshapes a single grape. Leipold is one of Franken's most promising young growers, farming six tiny hectares with a light hand and a big pedigree. Pour these two Grand Crus side by side and the terroir argument makes itself.

WINE GUIDES

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
