Ehrenhausen Sauvignon Blanc „Zeitspiel 3“ Spätfüllung 2021 3000ml Doppel-Magnum

Wine Description for Ehrenhausen Sauvignon Blanc „Zeitspiel 3“ Late Release 2021 3000ml Double Magnum by Tement

Colour & Appearance

Medium straw yellow with subtle green reflections and a delicate perlage – the fermentation carbonation visible in the glass is an enticing harbinger of the freshness that characterises this wine.

Nose

A fascinating interplay of aromas between vegetative precision and mineral depth: green grass, gooseberries and lime zest meet mint, white pepper and graphite. These are complemented by hints of green tobacco, green olive and damp lichen on stone – a nose that combines complexity with Styrian clarity.

Palate

From the first moment mouth-watering and juicy, yet surprisingly youthful for 36 months on fine lees. The texture is gently creamy and white-fleshed, carried by a clean, silky acidity. Cool and slightly ethereal with minty notes that never seem unripe, but rather express the cool climate. A hint of salt underscores the mineral structure.

Finish

Long and intense, with lingering freshness and mineral aftertaste. The precision remains intact to the very end.

Terroir & Origin

From the South Styrian vineyard sites Wielitschberg, Grassnitzberg and Ottenberg in Ehrenhausen. The soils of clay-marl and shell limestone lend the wine its characteristic minerality and structure.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Sauvignon Blanc, spontaneously fermented after brief skin contact. The special feature: 36 months ageing on fine lees in large wooden casks (900 to 2,400 litres). This late release combines South Styrian freshness with Tement’s characteristic depth and maturity.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Char, pike-perch or turbot, scallops with herb butter, asparagus with Hollandaise sauce, goat’s cheese, vitello tonnato or veal brisket with horseradish.

Special Features

The double magnum (3 litres) is not only an impressive collector’s piece, but also guarantees optimal ageing conditions. The „Zeitspiel 3“ impressively demonstrates how Sauvignon Blanc gains with time without losing its freshness – a paradox that only a few winemakers achieve.
