VARIETY: 100 % SAUVIGNON BLANC
PRODUCTION AREA: Selected vineyards with south-east exposure located in Pinzon (350 m) and the hills around the Kaltersee. The cooler micro-climate in this altitude with its high termical excursions (-15°C between day and night) is ideal for the formation of some aromatic compounds in Sauvignon Blanc grapes.
VINEYARDS: The main flavours of Sauvignon Blanc come primarily aromatic compounds formed in the vineyard. To save this characters all through to the bottle, Sauvignon blanc needs a different vineyard management then other varieties. All our vineyards are planted on the modern Guyot-system (6-10 years old) which allows us to optimize vineyard work.
SOIL PROPERTIES: Deep clay soils with 15-30 % slope
VINIFICATION: After a short Skin-contact periode (4-8 h) the grapes were pressed softly, decanted and finally fermented separately in Stainless steel tanks at low temperatures to retain the classic regional qualities.
TASTING NOTES: Pale straw yellow with green highlights. Fresh, lively and owerflowing with tropical aromas such as pineapple, passionfruit and mango. The fresh, mouthfilling flavours are backed by a fine acidity giving it length and perfect balance. This wine is an excellent accompainment to asparagus, seafood and warm starters.

An elegant frame and fine consistency, with intense fruity notes. An excellent structure that is flavoursome and mineral, with a persistent palate. We recommend serving this wine with refined dishes, including meats.
This wine is pale yellow in colour with green reflections and characterises the variety with it's diversity of aromas: mature fruits such as apple and pear and bananas mixed with exotic fruit notes of mango and a trace of honey. Slightly spicy, well structured and full in the mouth with a mineral finish on the palate.
An intensive white wine - not just in colour, but in fragrance and taste. The secret of this white wine lies in the special features of the area in which it is cultivated: Lahn in Appiano. These vineyards only produce a small yield, yet what they produce is typified by sustained character and quality. Its delicious and strong aromas, reminiscent of elderberry and honey, leave behind an abundance of lingering sensations on the palate. This wine, served straight the cellar, makes a huge impression even when served young: a long maturing process in the bottle, however, enhances its density and its complexity.
