Since the 1980s, this grape variety with its distinctive and powerful aroma has enjoyed great popularity in the Überetsch region. The stony limestone gravel soils and the cool fall winds produce a lively and expressive Sauvignon. Freshness and delicate minerality paired with melting and elegance make the Sauvignon Fallwind a stylish white wine.
