Anyone who went to business school will remember their first lesson, the one where the lecturer says that if you want to make a fortune in business, start by selling Silvaner from the Rheinhessen at £94.00 a bottle and you will never look back! It’s page one stuff.

The Wine Advocate: “From vines planted in the 1960s in the St Laurenziberger Kapelle and vinified in two 800-litre barrels, the 2022 Sylvaner St. Laurentius is from hard limestone soils west of Ingelheim. The wine is pure and chalky yet also intense on the reductive yet attractive nose that is reminiscent of toasted sesame and, yes, Chablis. Very elegant and perfectly round on the palate, this is a textural, refined and balanced Sylvaner that is also intense, complex and powerful. This is a superb terroir wine with a long, saline and salivating finish. It would be fun to include this wine in a blind tasting of Chablis. Drink now-2050.” 95 points
