Upupa white 2023 - 13,5% vol. Abraham Winery

Description: 
The Upupa white convinces with its intense fruit notes and a strong mung feeling. The scent of mango and litchi tells of the very ripe grapes. It is complex and intense on the palate, with mineral acidity and a long finish. 

Grape varierty: 
60% Sauvignon blanc, 40% Pinot blanc - IGT Weinberg Dolomiten 

Production area: 
The vineyard `` In der Lamm '' is located in Eppan in the hamlet of Weißhaus at approx. 500m above sea level. The airy hillside location, facing west, is very sun-kissed and allows the grapes to ripen optimally. Moraine soils from the last Ice Age predominate here, mixed with volcanic rock made of very mineral-rich quartz porphyry. In the semi-shade of the Pergl, where the Pinot Blanc grows, an elegant, complex fruit develops. The deep-rooted vines do not need any artificial irrigation and develop a variety of mineral taste components. The age of the vines is 55 years. 

Vinification: 
Joint harvest of the different grape varieties and fermentation without temperature control in steel tanks. The further expansion takes place on the fine lees in 500 liter oak barrels. 

Food pairing: 
In order to develop its full potential, this wine needs time to breathe after opening. Goes ideally with cheese, shellfish and crustaceans, roast goose and liver. 

Serving temperature: 
8 - 10°C. 

Ageing potential: 
more than 5 years. 

Bottle size: 
750 ml - 75 cl - 0,75 lt. 

Allergens: 
wine can contain sulphites.

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.
