Zur Schwane

Franken Silvaner and Riesling from Germany's mineral heartland.

Zur Schwane produces wines from Franken, Germany's distinctive continental wine region. The winery focuses on Silvaner and Riesling, the grapes that define the area's mineral-driven, food-friendly style. Its Escherndorfer Lump Silvaner—a wine from one of Franken's most celebrated vineyard sites—demonstrates the variety's capacity for depth and structure. The Volkacher Ratsherr Silvaner GG and Volkacher Ratsherr Riesling Trocken round out the portfolio, both dry expressions that reflect the region's cool-climate precision. Falstaff has rated these wines, recognizing their quality across the range. Zur Schwane's selections showcase Franken's reputation for elegant, mineral-edged whites built on limestone soils and a rigorous approach to viticulture.
