Christopher Barth Silvaner 2020

Christopher Barth is crafting pure, expressive wines from his vineyards in the Rheinhessen, Germany. Working with a focus on Silvaner, Riesling, and Pinot Noir, he farms organically and vinifies with native yeasts and zero additions. His approach in the cellar is minimalist, allowing the texture and minerality of the region’s limestone and loess soils to shine. Barth's wines are taut, salty, and often slightly reductive, revealing layers of complexity with time and air. These are precise, natural wines that emphasize energy and place over polish.
