TASTING NOTES
The Sauvignon Blanc vines that produce this Sauvignon Blanc Ehrenhausen Korallenkalk 2022 from Weingut Tement are between 15 and 35 years old and grow on soils consisting of coralline limestone. The distinctive note that reflects this unique geological context is imparted to the wines produced by the vines grown on korallenkalk soils. The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented in stainless steel tanks with natural, spontaneous fermentation. The wine is then aged on its fine lees in both stainless steel tanks and un-toasted oak barrels for 18 months. It is bottled unfiltered. This Sauvignon Blanc is an exciting wine. The savouriness due to the limestone soils is distinct and is perfectly complemented by citrus fruits such as clementine, yuzu and pink grapefruit, and enriched by notes of blackcurrant. This wine can also be cellared for up to 10 years, providing an excellent opportunity for maturation. It is produced from grapes grown from certified organic farming. Bio Organic AT-BIO-402
