Description

Description: 
In colour light straw yellow with a sparkling shimmer. Consistent, typically mineral Sauvignon with complex aromas of black currant, grapefruit and elderflower as well as a hint of nettle. Dense, delicately juicy fruit with harmonious acidity, persistent in the finish. 

Grape variety: 
Sauvignon - South Tyrol Alto Adige Val Venosta DOC 

Production area: 
Naturno - Vinschgauer Sonnenberg. The dry primary rock soil offers excellent conditions for the vines to thrive in a steep, south-facing position between 600 and 700 m above sea level. 

Vinification: 
The small grape with dense berries is picked by hand at the end of September and carefully processed. Like the other white wines, the Sauvignon is fermented in large acacia wood barrels and then matured on the coarse yeast for 10 months. After bottling in early summer, the wine ages in the bottle for another year, allowing it  to develop its character. 

Food pairing: 
The wine goes well with starters, light fish dishes and asparagus. 

Serving temperature: 
10 - 12°C. 

Ageing potential: 
more than 5 years. 

Bottle to: 
750 ml - 75 cl - 0.75 lt. 

Allergens: 
Wine can contain sulphites. 

Producer: 
Falkenstein Winery 
The Falkenstein farm winery & vineyard is to be found on the slopes of the Sonnenburg Mountain in Naturns. The story begins in 1989, when Franz and Bernadette Pratzner decided to abandon their apple orchards and dedicate themselves exclusively to viticulture. The impervious terrain of primary rock, exposed to the south, lends itself perfectly to the growing of vines. The grape vines extend over an area of twelve hectares at altitudes of between 590–900 m a.s.l., producing around 90,000 bottles per year. The vineyards are dedicated mostly to white grapes, with a small part for Pinot Noir. Among the varieties cultivated, Riesling is the most outstanding. Franz and Bernadette work mostly manually, with machinery employed only in a supportive capacity. Since 2003, all wine-making is carried out in the purposely-built wine cellar. The architect responsible absorbed into the design the family’s desire to create a harmony between the old and the new. For this reason a wine cellar in stone was built, joined to the more modern building, in which the white wines are today perfected.
