Tannenberg

Sauvignon Blanc

The “Liebeneich” site at Terlan, a south-west facing slope at an altitude of 300 m above sea level where the micro climate is mild and breezy and soils are porous with a high mineral content consisting of sand and clay mixed with eroded porphyry.

2023 was a challenging year with climatic conditions that were anything but easy. Through hard work and meticulous attention to detail, we ultimately achieved great results. Our vines coped well with both the wet spring and the hot and dry summer, and the golden autumn helped us achieve perfect ripeness. Physiological ripeness, sugar ripeness and acidity are in perfect balance. Ripe fruit, cool character and moderate alcohol characterise the vintage.
At mid-September, we were able to harvest our grapes for the Tannenberg. The yield was 43 hl per hectare.

The grapes were de-stemmed, after which the juice and solid parts (minus stalks) were left to macerate in the press for twelve hours in order to leech from the skins a maximum of aroma substances and extract. Fermentation was spontaneous and took place in oak using yeasts occurring naturally in the vineyard. The young wine was matured in oak barrels on the fine lees for nine months to allow its aromas and flavour to develop.

11,900 standard bottles and 217 magnum were filled.

Residual sugar: 0.3 g/l
Alcohol: 13 % vol.
Acidity: 6.2 g/l

Scintillating golden yellow in the glass. The aroma is intense reminiscent of tropical fruits, mango, papaya and passion fruit, full-bodied only on the middle-palate, otherwise mineral-like reminiscent of wet stones with juicy acidity finishing long with flinty notes.
Enjoy at optimum maturity from autumn 2024 to the end of 2031.
Serve: lightly chilled, 46 - 50 °F; in its youth the wine will benefit from decanting; serve in Burgundy glasses.
Delicious with shellfish and crustaceans, grilled sea fish and white meats.
