Sauvignon Winkl DOC

The grapes come from the area around Terlan, whose microclimate is characterised by warm days, cool downslope winds and wide temperature variations; specific soil details for the 2024 vintage have not been documented. After hand-harvesting, selection, gentle whole-bunch pressing and natural settling, the must ferments slowly under temperature control in stainless steel. The wine is matured for around seven to eight months on the fine lees, 80 per cent in stainless-steel tanks and 20 per cent in large wooden casks. It displays apricot, mandarin, passion fruit, elderflower, gooseberry and mint, along with fresh acidity, good structure and a mineral, aromatic finish. Winkl has been produced as a varietal wine since 1956.
