Production notes
A small portion of the crushed grapes (15%) underwent a short cold maceration, avoiding contact with oxygen. Vinification was carried out in steel containers, keeping the wine at low temperatures, thereby avoiding malolactic fermentation. After fermentation, the wine spent 4 months on the noble lees, which were regularly resuspended.
Tasting notes
Straw yellow in colour, with green highlights, the Attems Sauvignon has captivating aromas of boxwood, lily of the valley and pomelo. The fresh sensations on the nose are also found in each sip. Combined with its light body, the mineral notes in this wine and the finish of wisteria and bergamot are particularly explosive.
