An Alsatian Sylvaner – I Love Organic Wine
Author: artmaraut13 // Category: Wine Spirits Articles
Resveratrol is a phytoalexin, a chemical compound that is found naturally in some plants. It is referred to as a phytoalexin because the plants produce the natural compound as an antibiotic substance to ward off fungi, bacteria and other pathogenic attacks. Resveratrol is found in red grapes, (skin, seeds and vines), in mulberries, raspberries, cranberries and blueberries, in peanuts, certain pine trees and also in the Japanese knotweed plant.
It is because of the fact that the compound has had an impact in the French people, making them have less coronary heart disease complications, and making them have healthy lifestyles that stirred the interest of many, hence it’s being manufactured as a natural nutritional supplement.

Louis Sipp Sylvaner 2007 12.5% alcohol about $14.50
Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials.
Description: Louis Sipp is a member of Tyflo, an association of Alsatian winegrowers who are keen to lessen the impact of their activities on the environment, and to market healthy products. Currently, the vineyards are in the process of conversion towards full organic certification.
Tasting Note: Louis Sipp shows what can be done with Sylvaner when care is taken with each and every step of production. This one contains bright aromas of lime, spring flowers and mineral. Dry and crisp, this has a very tasty finish. Enjoy with grilled prawns or poached salmon. (VINTAGES panel, July 2008) And now for my review.
2) Smell. Again, gently swirl the glass so that the wine mixes with the air to bring out it’s full aroma. Now, stick your nose in and sniff. Breathe it in deeply. Savor it. Take some time to fully process the smells.
Again, as you gain experience you will be able to describe several layers of aroma and subtle hints of other smells, but for now just stick to the 3 basics: floral, fruity or spicy.
Don’t forget, the sense of smell is very personal. There is no right or wrong. If you think it smells fruity than it smells fruity.
The second pairing involved a packaged eggplant parmigiana (as close to organic as any of the foods tasted here) covered with grated parmesan cheese. This time the Sylvaner was pleasantly but not overly acidic. Its lime notes were refreshing. I didn’t feel that the wine was fighting the dish’s tomatoes. I was pleased with its touch of sweetness. I finished the meal with a high-quality ice cream bar coated with chocolate. The wine lost its sweetness but managed to keep some of the lime.
The reason you want to swirl is because your tongue has taste buds all over it in the front and back. Each set of taste buds will respond to different flavors. So to get the maximum flavor you have to use all of your taste buds and that’s why you swirl.
