Ehrenhausen "Korallenkalk" Sudsteiermark Sauvignon Blanc

Austria
Styria
2020

Ehrenhausen is one of the main villages where Tement has vineyards. The vineyards in Ehrenhausen are characterized by fertile coralline limestone soil that contains fossilized seashells, called muschelkalk in German. The mineral soil requires a particularly slow and gentle maturation time. After natural fermentation, the wine is aged for 18 months on the lees in big, neutral oak casks and stainless steel tanks. It's bottled unfiltered. Alc. 12.5 % Vol. 1.2 g/l residual sugar - dry. 6.3g acidity.

"A very serious village wine that grows and grows as it flows over the palate! Wonderful nose of rosemary and sage, lime and grapefruit zest, plus a touch of flint! Stunning, chalky intensity for this category is married to a slew of ripe, citrusy fruit. Long, cool and herbal finish. From organically grown grapes."
