Tannenberg DOC 2023 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Tannenberg DOC 2023 1500ml Magnum by Manincor

Colour & Appearance

Pale straw yellow with vibrant green reflections – a visual promise of freshness and precision.

Nose

This Sauvignon Blanc announces itself unmistakably: disciplined, sharply defined, without affectation. Fully ripe yellow fruit and tropical notes meet a herbaceous, spicy aromatics of passion fruit leaf, star fruit and freshly mown grass. Distinctly bitter grapefruit zest lends tension, whilst a distinctively saline note provides depth. Time and again, fruits alternate with culinary herbs: chervil, borage, lemon balm. A serious, intellectual Sauvignon with matter-of-fact character.

Palate

Fruity-herbal on the attack, with juicy extract and crumbly phenolics that lend substance and grip. The wine rushes across the palate like a cool mountain stream – lively, refreshing, precise. The juicy yellow fruit and grapefruit aromas are accompanied in herbaceous, spicy fashion by fine notes of lemon balm and ground elder. The fresh acidity stretches like a taut bow across the entire palate.

Finish

Saline-herbal in definition with lingering presence. The mineral component dominates the long, cool finale – a wine that leaves an impression.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes come from the renowned Terlan vineyard site Lieben Aich, a south-west facing slope at 300 metres altitude. The soils of sandy loam on weathered porphyry lend the wine its characteristic minerality and saline character.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Sauvignon Blanc, crafted vinification: The destemmed grapes underwent a twelve-hour skin contact period for additional extraction and texture. Spontaneous fermentation in wood, followed by nine months ageing on fine lees – a method that promotes complexity and creamy texture without masking the varietal freshness.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Ideal with scallops with herb butter, pan-fried monkfish, goat’s cheese salad with grapefruit or asparagus with Hollandaise sauce. The saline minerality harmonises beautifully with oysters and seafood.

Special Features

The magnum bottle (1500ml) guarantees optimal ageing conditions and makes this wine the perfect companion for special occasions. A South Tyrolean Sauvignon of international calibre.
