TLZ Sonne N°10 2020

TLZ is an abbreviation for Trauben, Liebe und Zeit - Grapes, Love and Time, the only three ingredients needed in a wine.

Made from Sauvignon Blanc grown on gneiss soil rich in iron and silica. Hand-harvested and very carefully selected grapes, keeping only healthy and ripe grapes (Strohmeiers signum). Then destemmed, gently crushed, 4 weeks of skin contact. Gentle pneumatic pressing, spontaneous primary and malolactic fermentation. The wine is bottled after 12 months of maturation in used 500-liter wooden barrels of acacia and oak. Unfiltered, unfined and no sulfites added.

Personality: The skin contact on this wine is more prevalent than in the TLZ Weiss, but this is still a wine of subtlety and finesse, very in balance and faintly amber in color. Serve in big glasses to savor all its layers.

Appearance: Balanced, Saline & Apricots
