Franconia, or Franken, as it is also called, is home to some interesting white wines, many of which are made from Sylvaner and Müller-Thurgau due to the region's continental climate. Many of the top vineyards chart a W shaped path along the south facing slopes of the River Main and its tributaries. The early ripening Silvaner is also popular here.
