Paul Krahl Sauvignon Blanc (Steel)

 
White Wine • Dry
The Paul Krahl Sauvignon-Blanc, matured in stainless steel tanks and cold fermented, has a light, discreet color and a lively bouquet in the glass. The bouquet reminds of tropical fruits; passion fruit, grapefruit, kumquats & physalis. The wine is acidic but has a slight residual sweetness. On the palate the picture continues to unfold. Pineapple and papaya are added. In the finish the fruit remains, but slim and not obtrusive.

Description

The vineyard in which the 20 year old Sauvignon-Blanc vines are planted is characterized by loamy loess soils. This very fertile type of soil provides an excellent nutrient supply for the vines and thus gives the wine an exceptional character.
The vineyards have been organically cultivated.

The foliage was stripped by hand during the flowering period, which allows a targeted yield regulation and thus increases the quality of the grapes. Furthermore, all grapes were carefully checked for their state of health after the strong heat wave in 2019. Sunburn and otherwise damaged berries were cut out so that only healthy grapes continued to ripen on the vine.
In autumn 100% healthy grapes were harvested by hand.

The grapes were destemmed, covered with dry ice and left to macerate for 96 hours at 1°C to give the grapes a more distinctive character. After maceration, the mash was gently pressed and then treated separately for the respective style of aging.

The Sauvignon-Blanc in stainless steel (Schlegel bottle) was reductively developed and fermented with a pure yeast that is characterized by thiol & metoxypyrazine.
This emphasizes the green & fruity characteristics and gives this Sauvignon-Blanc a very lush bouquet. Characterized by aromas of exotic fruits like passion fruit, passion fruit & kumquats.

Food recommendation: Pecorino cheese with dates & cumin, stuffed peppers, saffron rice with curry chicken, beetroot hummus.
