Tannenberg DOC 2022 1500ml Magnum

The grapes for the Tannenberg come from the Terlan site Lieben Aich, a south-western slope at 300m above sea level with soils of sandy loam on weathered prophyry. The Tannenberg 2020 could already be harvested on 25 August thanks to the warm spring and balanced summer. The destemmed grapes underwent a twelve-hour maceration period before being pressed. Fermented spontaneously in wood, the wine was matured on the fine lees for nine months.

Light yellow with silver tapered rim.

Crystalline, polished and clear, the 2022 Tannenberg Sauvignon blanc from Manincor offers an unadorned and very restrained version of a Sauvignon blanc, especially when viewed in a South Tyrolean context. Whitecurrant, grapefruit zest, brook mint and elderflower mingle with wet river pebbles and lime blossom. Highly defined and reduced to the essentials, the Tannenberg offers a stringently reduced reading of the grape variety.

The Tannenberg is also disciplined and restrained on the palate, without the usual yellow-fruity fat on the already slender hips. The ripe acidity gives it a crystalline polish, underpinned by juicy extract and fine fruit. Extremely dry with a delicate tannin entry, it oscillates aromatically between cassis and grapefruit with a saline undertone and cool finish.
