2021 Vigna Oberkerschbaum Sauvignon Blanc

The Oberkerschbaum has an intense straw-yellow color with delicate greenish reflections in the glass. Aromas of ripe citrus fruits, grapefruit and bergamot, mingle with delicate scents of flint and nettle. This fruitiness continues on the palate, a Sauvignon with a harmonious complexity that never makes it appear too lean despite its racy acidity, a wine that impresses with its aromatic length. This Sauvignon is a selection of the best grapes from our Oberkerschbaum estate in Buchholz/Salurn at 750-800 meters above sea level. Thanks to its special microclimate, ideal orientation and challenging altitude, the Oberkerschbaum estate is one of the most exciting cru sites for South Tyrolean Sauvignon. Only the "Vigna" classification guarantees the origin of the vineyard wine in South Tyrol. Soils: loam and limestone gravel. After delivery, the grapes are lightly crushed and the must is left in contact with the skins for a few hours to emphasize the fruitiness of the wine. After gentle pressing and natural sedimentation of the lees, the must ferments at a controlled temperature. After fermentation, the Oberkerschbaum Sauvignon matures for a further 8 months on the fine lees in oak barrels. The fine lees are stirred monthly.
