Wine Description:
St. Michael-Eppan Sanct Valentin Sauvignon from Alto Adige is a standout white wine produced by the prestigious St. Michael-Eppan winery. The Alto Adige region, nestled in the Italian Alps, is renowned for its high-altitude vineyards and diverse soils. The winemaking process involves careful hand-harvesting, followed by gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the grape's freshness and delicate aromatics. The wine is aged on fine lees and a small percentage of the wine is vinified in oak barrels, to add to the blend in a later stage. The result is a vibrant and expressive wine with notes of citrus, green apple, and herbs. It's known for its crisp acidity and mineral nuances, making it an ideal companion for seafood and lighter fare, exemplifying the elegance and precision of Alto Adige winemaking.

Wine Expert Note:

This wine is a true gem from the St. Michael-Eppan winery. On the nose, this wine offers a vibrant bouquet of tropical fruits, such as passion fruit and pineapple, along with hints of citrus and fresh herbs. These aromas are complemented by subtle floral notes, adding an elegant touch to the overall profile. The palate is equally impressive, with a perfect balance between richness and freshness. The wine displays a lively acidity that brings out the flavors of ripe grapefruit, gooseberry, and green apple. There is also a distinct minerality that adds complexity and depth to the wine. The Sanct Valentin Sauvignon has a medium to full body, with a smooth and velvety texture that coats the palate. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a refreshing sensation and a desire for another sip. This wine is a fantastic choice for those who appreciate the unique characteristics of Sauvignon Blanc. It pairs exceptionally well with seafood dishes, such as grilled prawns or seared scallops, as well as fresh salads and goat cheese.

Cape Point Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc is a dry, citrusy wine hailing from the region of Western Cape in South Africa. The grapes are hand-picked, destemmed, and gently pressed to liberate the juice from the skins. The juice is transferred to stainless steel vats for a cool temperature-controlled fermentation that retains freshness and delicate aromatics. The wine is matured for a period of around 4 months on fine lees (decomposing yeast) which contributes texture and weight.
