Nose

fruit reminiscent of ripe gooseberries, apples and peaches

Palate

juicy, with elegant fruit on the palate, mineral notes and a smooth finish

Growing Conditions

The grapes come from an eastern slope at 500 m above sea level. The soil consists of loamy limestone gravel with porphyry and granite and therefore has a high silicate content.

Winemaking

After an 8-hour cold maceration of the ripe and healthy grapes, the grapes are pressed, followed by natural must clarification. The wine then matures for 11 months in large wooden barrels with continuous bâtonnage. This is followed by a further 4 months of maturation in stainless steel tanks on the fine lees.

Appearance

golden yellow with hints of green

Food Pairing

Quintessenz Sauvignon is an excellent pairing for asparagus dishes, braised fish, herb-crusted roast lamb and mature goat‘s cheese.

Cantina Kalternkunst.stück Pinot Bianco DOC

One single image, immobile within the flow of time. A sigh of yearning melds into the immense breath of nature that infuses all, and the succession of the seasons caresses the vine-clad hills. Pearl-like, the berries enfold a treasure that man’s hand will unveil, only to be once more hidden, flowing into a bottle, there to rest, silent, waiting, until the moment when the curtain rises and it emerges, the star, the soloist, alone on centre stage. Experience will then become memory, imprinted on heart and mind: kunst.stück, artwork.
