Estoras Sauvignon Blanc - Esterházy

The Estoras Sauvignon Blanc by Esterházy from the Austrian wine-growing region of Neusiedlersee in Burgenland is a varietally pure, creamy and animating white wine.

In the glass, this wine shines in a light straw yellow with platinum golden highlights. The nose delights in a fine composition of sun-ripened gooseberries, floral hints of elderflower and juicy grapefruit - subtly accented by tropical fruits (pineapple and mango). With a soft body, this Austrian white wine skilfully caresses the palate. The mild acidity is very well integrated and wonderfully emphasizes the creamy texture. The finish awaits with a pleasant length.

Vinification of the Esterhazy Estoras Sauvignon Blanc

The Sauvignon Blanc grapes for this varietal white wine grow in the Rust and St. Georgen sites. The vines are 28 years old and grow on deep clay soils.

The grapes are harvested by hand and selected already in the vineyard. In the Esterházy winery, the must is pressed - only the strained must is used - and fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 19 degrees Celsius. This is followed by 4 months of fine yeast aging. 10% of this white wine is aged in wooden barrels (volume 500 liters) - the remaining 90% matures in steel tanks.
