Sauvignon Blanc & Riesling - Kalkbrenner und Espenschied

In the glass, the Sauvignon Blanc & Riesling from Kalkbrenner and Espenschied displays a brilliantly shimmering light yellow color. This German cuvée shows wonderfully youthful notes of apple, black cherries, guava and mulberries in the glass. These are joined by hints of forest floor and sun-warmed rock.

This white from Kalkbrenner and Espenschied is the right wine for all wine connoisseurs who like it dry. However, it is never dry or brittle, as one would expect from a wine in the upper price range. Light-footed and complex, this crisp and light white wine presents itself on the palate. With its lively fruit acidity, Sauvignon Blanc & Riesling presents itself wonderfully fresh and lively on the palate. The finale of this ripening white wine from the wine-growing region of Rheinhessen, more precisely from Flonheim, finally thrills with considerable reverberation. The finish is also accompanied by mineral facets of the soils dominated by loess and sand.
