<br />'Our Sauvignon selection, which has been given a truly descriptive name, is as filigree as the fine quartz flecks in the volcanic porphyry rock of Terlan. Characteristic of the<br />quartz are its fine texture and depth as well as a salty reverberation, which have in the meantime brought this noble white wine international renown.'<br />Rudi Kofler<br />Wine<br /><br />Region of Origin: South Tyrol - Italy<br />DOC area: South Tyrol Terlan<br />Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc<br />Vintage: 2018<br />Orientation: South - Southwest<br />Slope: 10 - 40<br />Altitude: 300 - 550 m<br /><br />Vinification<br />Harvest and grape selection by hand; gentle whole bunch pressing and clarification of the must by natural sedimentation of the lees; slow fermentation at controlled<br />temperature and maturation for 9 months on the fine lees partly in large wooden barrels (50%) and partly in stainless steel tanks (50%); assemblage three months before<br />bottling.<br /><br />Technical data<br />Alcohol content: 14,0 % vol.<br />Residual sugar: 2,7 g/l<br />Total acidity: 6,8 g/l<br /><br />Recommended with food<br />An exciting accompaniment to oysters, salmon tartare or cruditè of shellfish; also to green apple risotto with cross-roasted brook trout fillet, steamed langoustines or roast<br />lamb in a herb crust with braised asparagus; mature goat's cheese.<br /><br />Character<br />Colour: Sparkling yellow-green<br />Nose: Enticingly exotic with a multi-layered fruit of mango, papaya, lime and red grapefruit but also herbal aromas reminiscent of lemongrass, lemon balm, mint and green<br />tea, this Sauvignon presents itself in the glass. In addition, it also reveals mineral flint notes combined with a hint of gooseberries.<br />Taste: An extremely interesting interplay is experienced on the palate, where the juicy fruit aromas combine with the delicate minerality to create a remarkable harmonious<br />fullness and a powerful and long finish.<br />
