Neumeister Sauvignon Blanc Straden 2023

Cellar up to 5 years.

The Neumeister vineyards offer some of the best locations in and around Straden. Each grape variety grown there is treated according to the individual needs of that variety and benefit from the unique microclimates in the area. The focus is very much on natural management of the vines including very limited use of herbicides, pest control via natural measures, and rigorous canopy management. The vineyards have recently been certified as fully organic.

In order to achieve maximum quality control, several selections of grapes are made to ensure optimum ripeness, and, at the same time, cleaning passes are made to guard against any rot during ripening.

Maceration is in steel vats and then fermented 5 months aging on the lees in stainless steel vats to retain the varietal characteristics of the wine.

Pale lemon in colour, the nose tells you straight away that the wine has typical Sauvignon Blanc characteristics – intense aromas of freshly cut grass, green apple and a hint of minerality.

On the palate, green apple, green pepper and gooseberries combine well with blackcurrant and kiwi notes and a hint of spice. The wine is dry but with mouth watering acidity that is refreshing and leaving you wanting more. The finish is medium in length and demonstrates a very good Sauvignon Blanc if you like a typical Sauvignon Blanc you will love this!

Great as an aperitif, this wine will also match very well with seafood, creamy chicken dishes and pasta.
