Question: What is Muschelkalk?
Answer: It is the name given to the shell calcareous limestone soils in Germany. It is sometimes compared to the Kimmeridgian limestone of Chablis for producing wines with that chalky mineral salinity. Muschelkalk has become a significant factor for excellent wines made from the Sylvaner grape variety in Germany’s Franconia region. Check out Stefan Vetter’s and other top wine producers’ work.
