2023 SAUVIGNON BLANC TERRA ROSSA 1,5 L trocken

"The 2023 Westhofen Sauvignon Blanc Terra Rossa is deep, clear and remarkably refined on the unique and spicy nose that represents the Steingrube "VDP.Erste Lage." It vinified in primarly oval Stockinger oak vats. There is a coolish character in this wine that shows pure terroir aromas with stony as well as herbal notes intermingled with noble, rather discreet yet very elegant fruit. Bottled in early July, this is a dense, tight, extract-rich and (luckily) bone-dry Sauvignon. It is rich and intense enough anyway and doesn't lack for anything, least of all character and potential. This could be mistaken for a fine Graves white as well, and the saline and salivating finish, with its intensity, extract, fine tannins and spices, promises a remarkable future."
