Sauvignon Raif - 2022 - 0.75 lt. - Castelfeder Winery
Product description
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.

SHELF LIFE: 2-3 years
