Tannenberg

Sauvignon Blanc

The “Liebeneich” site at Terlan, a south-west facing slope at an altitude of 300 m above sea level where the micro climate is mild and breezy and soils are porous with a high mineral content consisting of sand and clay mixed with eroded porphyry.

For a biodynamic winegrower, 2024 proved to be extremely challenging. The exceptionally wet months of May, June, and July brought immense pressure from downy mildew and powdery mildew. Thanks to our professionalism and the experience gained over recent years, we managed to navigate this difficult phase almost unscathed. Short, hot weeks from mid-July to the end of August, followed by beautiful autumn weather through the end of September, rewarded us with outstanding white wines and Pinots. Energy, tension, crisp acidity, and moderate alcohol define the wines of this vintage.
At the beginning of September, we were able to harvest the grapes for Tannenberg.
The yield was 39 hl/ha.

The destemmed berries macerated for twelve hours in the press to extract aromas and structure from the skins. Fermentation took place spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in wooden barrels. During the one-year maturation on fine lees, fruit and minerality in-creasingly merged into a harmonious unity.

12,020 standard bottles and 221 magnum were filled.

Residual sugar: 0.7 g/l
Alcohol: 12.7 % vol.
Acidity: 5.9 g/l

A sparkling golden yellow in the glass. On the nose, intense aromas of ripe tropical fruits such as mango, papaya, and passion fruit. On the palate, full-bodied at the center, yet delicately mineral like wet stone, with a juicy interplay of acidity. A mineral-driven length lin-gers on the finish.
Optimal drinking window: from 2026 until the end of 2035.
Serving temperature: 8–10 °C. For best enjoyment in youth, decant and serve in Burgundy glasses. Pairs beautifully with shellfish, grilled sea fish, and white meat.
