Description

This striking grape variety, which has a strong aroma, has been increasingly cultivated in the Überetsch area since the 1980s. The stony limstone gravel and cool fall winds at the foot of the Mendel Massif produce a lively and expressive Sauvignon from the Lahn Vineyards. With refreshing acidity, delicate minerality, the Lahn Sauvignon really makes a splash as a trendy white.
