| Perfume | Our RACHTL Sauvignon Blanc Riserva is a very elegant wine that at first appears discreet, but once it settles in the glass it develops its full potential of aromas. After the initial mineral hints of flint, graphite and schist, fruity nuances of hay and exotic fruits slowly prevail. |
| Taste | This is a well-balanced and refined wine, enhanced by a straw-yellow colour with green reflections, which envelops the palate in a succession of intense and velvety taste sensations in perfect harmony with the acidity and which is confirmed by a decisive and persistent aftertaste. |
| Pairings | Seafood, crustaceans and fish, pork and poultry, rice dishes. |
| Region | Trentino Alto Adige |

| Name | Tiefenbrunner Sauvignon Riserva Vigna Rachtl 2021 |
|---|---|
| Type | White still |
| Denomination | Alto Adige DOC |
| Vintage | 2021 |
| Size | 0,75 l |
| Alcohol content | 13.5% by volume |
| Grape varieties | 100% Sauvignon |
| Country | Italy |
| Region | Trentino Alto Adige |
| Vendor | Tiefenbrunner |
| Origin | Aica di Sotto, hamlet of Fiè allo Sciliar |
| Climate | Altitude: 590 to 630 m. a.s.l. Exposure: south-east. |
| Soil composition | Sand with a medium silt content prevails in the superficial layers, with high salt and low humus content. A peculiarity is the presence of grey porphyry. In the lower layers, calcareous sandy rock predominates. This unusual rock combination gives the wine its special character of mineral notes of flint and a distinct acidity. |
| Cultivation system | Espalliera |
| Plants per hectare | 8000 |
| Yield per hectare | 42 hl/Ha |
| Harvest | This Sauvignon Blanc is harvested when fully ripe as it surprisingly retains its acidity. |
| Wine making | After maceration for eight to twelve hours and gentle crushing, 25% of the must is fermented in new tonneaux, the other 75% in large wooden barrels where alcoholic fermentation takes place and where the wine remains for almost a year. It is this process that gives the Sauvignon Blanc Reserve RACHTL all its structure and smoothness. In order not to alter its mineral notes, malolactic fermentation must be carefully avoided at this stage. |
| Aging | The two parts are then reassembled in steel vats where the wine clarifies naturally for six months. Once bottled, it ages for a further 12 months in the bottle. |
| Total acidity | 7.1 gr/L |
| Residual sugar | 0.6 gr/L |
| Allergens | Contains sulphites |
