Magnum Sauvignon 2022 Quarz TERLAN

'Our Sauvignon selection, which has been given a truly descriptive name, is as filigree as the fine quartz flecks in the volcanic porphyry rock of Terlan. Characteristic of the
quartz are its fine texture and depth as well as a salty reverberation, which have in the meantime brought this noble white wine international renown.'

Character
Colour: Sparkling yellow-green
Nose: Enticingly exotic with a multi-layered fruit of mango, papaya, lime and red grapefruit but also herbal aromas reminiscent of lemongrass, lemon balm, mint and green
tea, this Sauvignon presents itself in the glass. In addition, it also reveals mineral flint notes combined with a hint of gooseberries.
Taste: An extremely interesting interplay is experienced on the palate, where the juicy fruit aromas combine with the delicate minerality to create a remarkable harmonious
fullness and a powerful and long finish.
