                                                Sommelier's advice: Schieferkopf brings you a new interpretation of the Sylvaner. This wine comes from the Sylvaner’s traditional region of production with writtings dated back from 1665. It is best appreciated with choucroute (sauerkraut) or a tarte flambée.
