Bestheim presents its new gourmet wine: Sylvaner Exception
Bestheim unveils a new vintage of excellence: Sylvaner Exception. Renowned for the excellence of its wines and Crémants, this creation embodies the culmination of a subtle marriage between wood and concrete, offering lovers of Alsace white wine a unique sensory experience.
A rigorous selection of plots
The Sylvaner Exception is the result of a meticulous selection of grapes from more than 2 hectares of Sylvaner vines nestled on the limestone hillside of Strangenberg in Westhalten. These plots were carefully chosen not only for the exceptional quality of their grapes, but also for the virtuous practices of the winegrowers who own them.
The soil is maintained mechanically, avoiding the use of chemicals in favor of environmentally friendly methods. In addition, the presence of natural elements such as trees and hedges promotes biodiversity, creating an ecosystem that does not require insecticides. These elements also act as natural screens, protecting the vines from the elements and contributing to the uniqueness of this wine.
Sylvaner Exception: a hybrid winemaking process
After meticulous harvesting, the Sylvaner Exception cuvée underwent hybrid vinification. Half of the grapes were vinified and aged in concrete egg-shaped vats, while the other half were aged in demi-muid barrels for 10 months. This innovative approach, based on micro-vinification, reveals Bestheim's expertise and know-how in the cellar.
Sylvaner Exception embodies the harmonious alliance between rigorous selection, environmentally friendly practices, and original winemaking. This bold approach elevates this cuvée to the rank of exception in the world of Alsace wines, offering connoisseurs a unique taste experience marked by authenticity and refinement.
Bestheim continues to make its mark in the wine world by offering wines of excellence that reflect its commitment to preserving nature and respecting the raw materials. Sylvaner Exception is a new gastronomic benchmark, ready to seduce the most demanding palates and accompany the most precious moments.
Food and wine pairings: Sylvaner Exception pairs perfectly with dishes featuring fine fish, seafood, or refined poultry, bringing freshness and elegance to every tasting.
This new vintage embodies the spirit of Bestheim more than ever: an exceptional Alsatian wine, born of the land and its people, respectful of the environment and the community that supports it. With our Vignerons Engagés label, each bottle becomes a powerful gesture, an informed choice, a promise of quality and responsibility. To be shared without moderation, to promote Alsace and its values!
