Production of the Sauvignon Blanc dry - Landerer

The vineyards around Baden enjoy a particularly mild climate, making the region one of the warmest in Germany. Sunny days allow the grapes to ripen fully, while cooler nights preserve the fruit’s freshness. The soils consist of a varied mix of loess, limestone, and areas of stony subsoil, lending the Sauvignon Blanc dry - Landerer its fine mineral character. This combination of warmth, cool nights, and diverse soils gives the wine its clear aromas and impressive tension.

The grapes are harvested selectively, with high standards applied to their quality. Only fully ripe, intensely aromatic berries reach the cellar. Careful hand-harvesting allows for an initial selection in the vineyard, followed by another sorting process in the press house. This ensures that only completely intact grapes undergo pressing. Gentle pressing preserves the variety’s characteristic freshness and delicate aromas of pineapple, guava, and citrus.

In the cellar, the Landerer winery relies on cool, controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. This stainless-steel maturation highlights the varietal fruit, preserves the crisp acidity, and protects the delicate, volatile aromas of the Sauvignon Blanc. Extended contact with the fine lees lends the wine additional creaminess and complexity without compromising its lightness. The style remains clear, purist, and precise, with an unmistakable commitment to freshness.

The winemaker’s style is evident in the balance between aromatic intensity and elegance. Overripe notes have no place here; instead, a focused, vibrant fruit character takes center stage. The Landerer winery emphasizes transparency of origin and variety, giving the Sauvignon Blanc an unmistakable signature: juicy, cool in impression, consistently dry, and finely structured. Every sip tells the story of Baden’s sunny slopes and the precise work carried out in the vineyard and cellar.

Serving suggestions for the Sauvignon Blanc dry - Landerer

This Sauvignon Blanc pairs wonderfully with a wide variety of dishes. Its combination with fish and seafood is particularly appealing: pan-fried pike-perch, grilled sea bream, or prawns harmonize perfectly with the fresh citrus fruit and lively acidity. Light starters such as goat cheese on leaf salads, fresh summer salads with citrus dressings, or sushi also reveal their full range of aromas alongside this wine.

Vegetarian cuisine finds an ideal partner in this wine. Dishes featuring green asparagus, zucchini, peas, spring vegetables, or herbs such as basil, coriander, and mint meet a wine that complements their aromas while providing clear definition. Fresh pasta with a lemon and olive oil sauce, risotto with green vegetables, or fresh goat cheese tarts also pair exceptionally well.

As an aperitif, the Sauvignon Blanc reveals its full brilliance. At garden parties, evenings on the terrace, or light lunchtime menus, it provides a lively, invigorating opening. It accompanies relaxed evenings with friends just as well as festive occasions calling for an elegant, fresh white wine. It is also an enticing partner for finger food, canapés, or antipasti, thanks to its freshness and clarity.

The ideal serving temperature is around 8 to 10 degrees Celsius. A well-chilled bottle accentuates the citrus notes, sharpens the contours, and brings the tropical aromas into precise focus. In the glass, the wine opens up after a few minutes, revealing greater depth and complexity. Horizontal storage in a cool, dark place preserves its freshness for several years. During the first three to four years after the harvest, it shows its fruity side most intensely; thereafter, more spice and minerality often come to the fore.
