Tannenberg – a parcel within the Lieben Aich vineyard that stands alone. While the Lieben Aich represents the entire Tenuta, this Sauvignon concentrates on a specific parcel: the one with the most pronounced mineral structure. South-western slope, 300 metres above sea level, warm and breezy microclimate. The soils of sandy loam over porphyry weathered rock are water-permeable and low in nutrients – conditions that require concentration. 2024 was a challenging vintage: a wet spring, then a hot and dry summer, followed by a golden autumn that allowed for perfect physiological ripeness. In mid-September, the grapes showed ripe fruit, cool character and moderate alcohol – ideal conditions for long-lasting wines with tension. The yield per hectare was 43 hectolitres. Vinification follows Manincor's biodynamic philosophy: the destemmed berries macerate on the press for twelve hours to extract flavour and structure from the skins. Spontaneous fermentation with the grapes' own yeasts takes place in wooden barrels, followed by nine months of ageing on the fine lees. The phases of the moon determine sowing, cultivation and harvesting: Rudolf Steiner's principles, consistently implemented. 11,900 bottles and 217 magnums were filled.

Sparkling golden yellow colour. The nose opens with intense aromas of ripe tropical fruit: Mango, papaya, passion fruit, interspersed with gooseberry, elderberry and a hint of green pepper. Full-bodied on the palate in the centre, then increasingly mineral – wet stone, coolness of wet stone, juicy acidity that creates tension. The finish is long and characterised by mineral precision. Not a "nose Sauvignon", but a commitment to the terroir. SUPERIORE.DE

"Silent greatness. Noble is he who is self-sufficient. Perhaps a little demanding and in any case sensitive. But has many sought-after qualities: Clarity, freshness, complexity." Michael Graf Goëss-Enzenberg, Weingut Manincor

"Bright straw yellow with a sparkling centre. Fragrant and distinctive nose, with subtle hints of dried citrus fruit, meadow herbs, elderflower, plus fine notes of crisp pear and apple. Beautiful precision on the palate, subtle fruit, pure, austere, savoury, still very young at the moment, still needs some time in the bottle." Falstaff
