Winkl Sauvignon Blanc Terlaner DOC - Cantina Terlan

The top-rated Winkl Sauvignon Blanc Alto Adige Terlaner from the Trentino-Alto Adige wine-growing region is a bright light yellow in the glass. If you swirl the wine glass, you can perceive a perfect balance in this white wine, as it is neither watery nor syrupy or liqueur-like on the glass walls. This single-varietal Italian Sauvigon Blanc reveals wonderfully expressive notes of elderflower, orange blossom, honeysuckle, crunchy peach and nectarine in the glass. There are also hints of lovage, Mediterranean herbs and tropical aromas of lichée and guava.

The Winkl Sauvignon Blanc from Cantina Terlan is the right choice for all wine lovers who like as little sweetness as possible in their wine. The texture of this balanced white wine is wonderfully crisp, melting and dense on the palate. With its vital fruit acidity of 6.3 grams per liter, the Winkl Sauvignon Blanc is impressively fresh and lively on the palate. The finish of this youthful white wine from South Tyrol impresses with its remarkable persistence. The finish is also accompanied by mineral facets from the soils dominated by sand and limestone.
