The Erste+Neue 2018 Alto Adige Sauvignon Puntay offers a classic display of aromas with tropical fruit, tangy citrus, passion fruit and wild herb. This is a refreshing and lean white wine with a very pretty bouquet that is faithful to the Sauvignon Blanc variety. The wine is tight and crisp in terms of mouthfeel. The fruit is cold soaked on the skins for 18 hours, a process that imparts all those vivid aromas. It is fermented and aged (for seven months) in large oak casks. Some 8,000 bottles were made.
