Interesting! I've tasted a couple of sweet versions myself, such as the "Hors la Loi" (ie. outlaw) from Alsace's Seppi Landmann. He's pretty much established himself as a Sylvaner specialist. This bottling is so named because of the legal trouble he ran into w/ the AOC rules that don't allow for Sylvaner in the late harvest category. He also makes an ice wine it seems.
Otherwise, Silvaner goes by the name of Johannisberg in Switzerland, but the sweet version I tasted seemed a bit flat. I definitely prefer Riesling in this category.
