Sauvignon Blanc Kalk und Löss 2023

Wine description for Sauvignon Blanc Kalk und Löss 2023 from Weingut am Klotz

Colour & appearance

Slightly cloudy golden yellow with silvery reflections, already visually hinting at the typical minerality of the terroir.

Nose

A precise, unadulterated bouquet of remarkable clarity. The herbal notes of nettle and cassis leaf dominate at first, before a citrusy freshness of grapefruit and lime unfolds. This Herbal complexity is characteristic of cool sites and lends the wine an intellectual dimension that goes far beyond simple fruitiness.

Palate

The palate shows impressive stringency. The moderate alcohol structure of 12.0% supports a lively acidity structure that makes the wine appear precise and straightforward. The citrus flavours continue and are supported by a subtle mineral component - a clear expression of the limestone and loess soil. The finish is medium-long, focussed and refreshingly clear, with a pleasant herbal spiciness in the aftertaste.

General information

This Sauvignon Blanc represents an authentic German interpretation of the grape variety. The ageing in stainless steel preserves the varietal characteristics and emphasises the freshness of the 2023 vintage. The low residual sweetness allows the structural elements of the wine to stand out clearly.

Food pairing suggestions

An ideal companion to Goat cheese, Asparagus with hollandaise or Seafood with citrus notes. Particularly harmonious with Herb salads and Mediterranean vegetable dishes. The distinctive acidity structure also makes it the perfect counterpart for slightly fatty dishes.

Special features

This wine exemplifies how the Baden region with its chalky soils can produce Sauvignon Blanc of remarkable precision. It embodies a terroir-influenced stylewhich stands out favourably from the often overripe, tropical interpretations of the grape variety. A wine of remarkable authenticity that is thought-provoking and yet remains immediately accessible.
