Vinification of the Sauvignon Blanc dry from Weingut Metzger

The grapes for this Sauvignon Blanc grow in the region’s best vineyards, characterized by cool nights and mineral soils. Cultivation is carried out according to sustainable principles, with the vines carefully tended to prevent the grapes from drying out. Handpicking takes place early in the morning to preserve the freshness of the grapes and ensure optimal quality. After careful harvest, the grapes are quickly destemmed and gently pressed at the winery to maintain the intensity of the fruit aromas. The winemaking takes place at controlled temperatures (between 12 and 16 degrees Celsius), promoting the extraction of fruit and minerality. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks results in clear and fresh character traits, with the wine remaining on the fine lees for several months after fermentation. The subsequent gentle maturation process, supported by a lighter filtration, helps preserve the wine’s characteristic freshness, lively fruit aromas, and mineral note. During the aging process, aromatic complexities develop further, making the wine a versatile companion for various enjoyment moments. This vinification approach guarantees an optimal balance between fruit, acidity, and mineralism, making the wine a true highlight.
