The Art of Diversity: a Sauvignon Blanc of Many Facets
This Sauvignon Blanc combines five to six vinification methods, capturing the diversity of the vintage. Three selective harvests capture different ripeness stages, complemented by a portion of overripe grapes that add depth and exotic nuances. In the cellar, skin fermentation, cold maceration, and four months of ageing on whole clusters create layered, multi-dimensional aromas. Temperature-controlled and partly spontaneous fermentations give the wine structure and complexity. The result is a Sauvignon Blanc with fine spiciness and remarkable aromatic depth.

Wine Description
Straw yellow with light green reflections, multi-layered and complex yet delicate aroma profile: gooseberry, delicate tropical fruit, green apple, herbs and grass. The finely structured, slightly creamy texture is complemented by delicate vanilla notes and subtle floral accents. Citrusy notes and mineral nuances lend the wine depth and complexity.
Food Pairing
Goes well with asparagus, shellfish, risotto and pasta dishes, vegetable salads or a vegan oriental millet pan with vegetable strips, sultanas, pistachios and fine tahini sauce.
Winery
For over 30 years, the Kränzelhof in Tscherms has been producing wine on-site and also offers a garden to visit, featuring rotating art exhibitions and culinary experiences at the Miil and Essbar restaurants.
