Grenache, a key player in Chateauneuf-du-Pape (CNDP), shines both solo and in blends, contributing to rich, complex wines.

This Southern Rhone appellation is known for its unique terroir, with galets that enhance grape ripeness.

Soul of Franken in a Glass: Weingut Zehnthof Theo Luckert

For those who’re eager to explore the soul of German wines, look no further than Weingut Zehnthof Theo Luckert. It is an organic winery nestled in Sulzfeld, Germany, within the renowned Franken wine region. Managed by brothers Ulrich and Wolfgang, along with Wolfgang's son Philipp, the winery operates from a historic tithe house dating back to 1558. The Luckert family dedicates approximately 50% of their vineyard area to Silvaner, a grape variety emblematic of the region.

Silvaner, or Sylvaner, is a distinguished grape in the Franken region known for its exceptional dry wines. It thrives in clay-limestone soils, which impart a unique minerality. With vibrant acidity and flavors of citrus, green apple, and floral notes, Franken Silvaners are full-bodied and refreshing. Their versatile profile makes them ideal for pairing with seafood, poultry, and creamy cheeses.

Uniquely, the Luckerts cultivate all four varieties of Silvaner: yellow, green, blue, and red—the only winery to do so! Committed to organic farming (certified since 2009), their practices promote soil health, allowing the true essence of the terroir to shine through.

The winery employs spontaneous fermentation and aging on full yeast in traditional Spessart oak barrels, resulting in elegant wines with flavors of melon, quince, and pear, all supported by a delicate mineral backbone.

Zehnthof Luckert's wines are celebrated for their balance, finesse, and extraordinary texture, often compared to prestigious white Burgundies.

Inheriting 150-Year Vines: Anthony Thevenet's Beaujolais Vision

"I completely understand why Josh (Raynolds) was so enthused by Thévenet – these wines quietly blew me away." - Neal Martin, Vinous.com
