Tasting note
Northern Italian Sauvignon Blanc, more sage than grass, fragrant with elderflower and acacia blossom, all grounded by a plank of well integrated oak.
Viticulture
The Lafóa wine estate is located on a ridge between Girlan and Schreckbichl at an altitude of 430 metres above sea level with optimum exposure to sunlight. The site is rather dry with soils consisting of sand, gravel and morainal debris. The vineyard was planted in 1989 with a density of 6,000 vines per hectare.
Vinification
Harvested in early September at high sugar concentration, with yields limited to 50 hl/ha. Grapes are crushed, briefly macerated and pressed; juice decants naturally before fermentation in stainless steel and oak. Only the oak-vinified half undergoes malolactic fermentation. After eight months on fine lees, the final blend is lightly filtered and bottled.
Food Match
Excellent on its own, you can also enjoy it with a snack of fresh goats' cheese and smoked salmon pâté with crusty bread, or as a partner to lobster tail salad, full-flavoured fish dishes, scallops stir-fried with ginger, or goats’ cheese soufflé.
