Sauvignon Prail | Alto Adige Wines Malta
Grown in the calcareous soils of the cool rolling hills (Alto Adige Wines Malta), Sauvignon develops elegance and an abundance of captivating aromas reminiscent of elderflower, gooseberry and delicately scented herbs.
Tasting notes: Bright pale yellow colour with a green nuance, powerful aromas of elder and acacia flower, passion fruit, lime intert wined with herbal notes to the nose. The palate is complexed with hints of white currant, melon and stone fruit, underpinned by zesty acidity and a delicate flinty aftertaste.
Food Combination: An excellent partner for asparagus frittata or asparagus dishes in general, scallops, and fish of all sorts. Serve lightly chilled: 10-12° C.
Grape Variety: Sauvignon blanc
Location: Hill and mountainside sites at an altitude of approx. 400 - 500 m; the sort is morainal with high mineral content. (Alto Adige Wines Malta)
Winemaking: Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks at a constant temperature of 18° C and lasts around 14 days. Part of the wine is fermented in large oak casks. Both new wines refine separately on their fine lees for 6 months and will be blended before bottling
