Terlan Alto Adige Sauvignon DOC Winkl

Characteristic: White Wine, dry

Denomination: Alto Adige Terlano DOC

Grape Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc

Terroir: sandy-stony, well-drained soils at Terlano, Orientation: South - Southwest

Vinification: Manual harvest and selection of the grapes; gentle whole cluster pressing and clarification of the must by natural sedimentation; slow fermentation at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, aging on the lees in steel tanks for 5-7 months.

Description: Color: intensive straw yellow with a delicate green shimmer Smell: Ripe fruit aromas of apricot, mandarin and passion fruit mingle with elements of elderberry, nettle and mint. Taste: The fruitiness continues on the palate in combination with a fine acidity. The wine scores with a good structure and a minerally but at the same time aromatic finish.

Pairings: An interesting combination in spring with boiled white asparagus in Bolzano sauce as well as with steamed green asparagus; also with tuna carpaccio, smoked salmon and raw langoustines; and a typical South Tyrolean choice with nettle dumplings, as well as poached trout with vegetables or young goat’s cheese.

Serving temperature: 10 - 12 °C
