Cantine Tramin Kellerei Sauvignon Blanc 2018

It is a fine white wine, slightly aromatic intensely floral with a bouquet of elderflower and nettle, and spicy notes of paprika and green gooseberries. The grapes come from vineyards planted at 350 – 550 m above sea level in calcareous clay and gravelly soils. Its freshness and intense flavour can be surprising. Enjoyable as an aperitif and delicious with tasty appetisers. This Sauvignon also pairs well with asparagus, fish, seafood and poultry.
