Sauvignon Fumé 2021/22 - 13% vol. Abraham Winery

Description: 
Due to the special vinification method, Sauvignon Fumé presents slightly smoky 'smoky' aromas in addition to the typical aromas of the grape variety. Sauvignon Fume is characterised by smoky and yeasty aromas and presents itself on the palate as a complex, full-bodied, vibrant white wine with a long-lasting finish. 

Grape variety: 
Sauvignon - Alto Adige IGT Weinberg Dolomiten. 

Production area: 
The 'Kreit' vineyard is a single vineyard and is located in Eppan, near the Monticolo forest. The vineyard is located at 450 m above sea level, faces south-east and is well ventilated. The mineral-rich rock soils, such as quartz porphyry, granite and slate, give the wines produced here a special character. The grapes come from old South Tyrolean vines. 

Vinification: 
After a maceration period of about 24 hours, the must is carefully pressed. This is followed by fermentation in 500-litre oak barrels with natural yeasts. About 20 % of the total quantity ferments on the skins for about 4 weeks. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is matured on the full lees for 16 months. 

Food pairing:
Light meat and fish dishes are recommended with Sauvignon Fume. 
To develop its full potential, the wine needs to be aerated. Ideal when drunk from a Burgundy glass.

Abraham Winery 
The family business Winery Abraham in St. Michael / Eppan was founded by Martin Abraham and Marlies Pohl Abraham with the aim of processing their own grapes into high-quality wines. Martin and Marlies Abraham are winemakers by conviction. They live their passion. They use the knowledge and creative power of their ancestors as the foundation of their actions today. Now it is their turn to carry this deep-rooted passion forward. THE FUTURE NEEDS A GENUINE. Working with nature means compromising. Again and again new areas of tension arise between acting and letting go. This tightrope walk is a daily challenge. When you inhale the scent of rain-soaked earth, you will become aware of the uniqueness and diversity of this terroir. In the west of the vineyards we find dolomite rock, limestone marl, red clay and sand from the debris cone of the Mendel Mountains. In the east, moraine soils from the last ice age are predominant, mixed with volcanic rock made of quartz porphyry with a very high mineral content.
