Stefan Vetter is punk rock. He has done nothing that has even the slightest commercial logic to it. No winemaker on earth is as synonymous with a single grape variety as Stefan Vetter is with sylvaner. Sylvaner is an obscure German variety that’s the specialty of Franken, a region better known for beer than quality wine. There on cold, hilly vineyards, Vetter farms old-vine sylvaner to make natural wines now found on the best restaurant wine lists around the world. They’re concentrated and intensely minerally, yet elegant and highly refreshing - right in the wheelhouse of anyone who enjoys textured, powerful versions of Chablis.
