The 2008 Sylvaner is one of the more generous wines in this line-up. The fruit is quite soft, yet the wine retains the clarity and focus that is found in all of the Kuenhof wines. The Sylvaner captures a superb balance of aromatic complexity, soft fruit, persistence and lively minerality. It is another wonderful effort from Kuenhof. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012. I was very impressed with the wines I tasted this year from Kuenhof, a small estate located in Bressanone, in the northern reaches of Alto Adige. I am told the US allocation of these wines is just a few cases, but hopefully readers elsewhere will be able to latch on to a few bottles of these wonderful whites.
