Franz Strohmeier, TLZ Sonne No6

You’d be hard pressed to recognize this as a Sauvignon Blanc, with super mature fruit displaying none of the grassy characteristics typical of commercial examples of this grape variety. A wine with gorgeous aromas of stone fruits and flowers, bound by gentle tannins and a long, clean finish The skin contact on this wine is more prevalent than in the TLZ Weiss, but this is still a wine of subtly and finesse, very in balance and faintly amber in color. Age of vines 12 years. Hand harvested and fermented in 500-liter used wooden barrels, this wine spends just 15 days in contact with the skins. Bottling after 11 months maturation in neutral wooden barrels. It is unfiltered, unfined and has zero sulfur added. Vintage: NV Varietals: Sauvignon Blanc Farming: Organic/Biodynamic, Unfiltered/Unfined, No Added Sulfites
