Australian Wine from Alternative Grape Varieties |
||
Sylvaner Wine in AustraliaSylvaner is one of those unfashionable varieties that can be worth seeking out. It is not highly regarded, if even acknowledged at all, by mainstream of wine writers and critics. Therefore if someone is growing it and making wine you know they have invested a little passion into the wine. My advice is to try it with an open mind, you could be in for a surprise. It will certainly be better drinking than the torrents of Sauvignon Blanc that are coming across the Tasman. In Australia the following wineries are using the Sylvaner variety.
