Notes
Sourced from Buntsandstein parcels in the Mittelhaardt; Michael Andres has farmed his 7-hectare estate biodynamically since 2006 and vinifies this wine at cool temperatures in stainless steel – ensuring its clear, unadulterated aromatic expression.
Tasting note
Colour & Appearance
Radiant, pale golden yellow with distinct green reflections – a wine that promises coolness and freshness even in the glass.
Nose
Unmistakably Sauvignon Blanc, yet finely woven rather than loud: wild mint, sage, a hint of nettle, behind which lie mango, papaya, cassis and grapefruit. An aromatic richness that never imposes itself.
Palate
Fresh and invigorating, with outstanding drinkability: the herbal notes of the nose mingle on the palate with juicy fruit, while a precise acidity provides pace and structure. Juicy, clear and linear – a wine that follows bottle logic rather than glass logic.
Finish
Clean and persistent, with a fine mineral note on the finish that recalls the Buntsandstein sandstone from which it originates.
Terroir & Origin
Michael Andres vinifies his wines in Ruppertsberg on the Mittelhaardt – at a deliberately small estate of seven hectares, which he has run since 1993, today together with his daughter Elena. The grapes for this Sauvignon Blanc grow on Buntsandstein soils, the rock that shapes his vineyard sites from Deidesheimer Mäushöhle to Reiterpfad and lends the wines their mineral precision.
Grape Variety & Vinification
A single-varietal Sauvignon Blanc from various parcels on Buntsandstein, aged in stainless steel – a cool, lean maturation that preserves the varietal aromatics without disguise. Dry, with a moderate 12.5% ABV.
Food Pairings
A magnificent match for aromatic dishes: asparagus with herb vinaigrette, goat’s cheese on lamb’s lettuce, Thai curry with lemongrass or grilled fish with sage butter. Equally delightful on its own on the terrace.
Special Features
Sauvignon Blanc from the Palatinate far removed from any tropical-fruit cliché: herbal spice and fruit are perfectly balanced, and the textured minerality of the Buntsandstein gives the wine a seriousness rarely found in this price and pleasure league. A wine from a winemaker who knows every single vine – and you can taste it.
